347: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
348: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

350: purchased a CDROM instead.

! 391:
1.1 deraadt 392: <p>
393: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
394: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
395: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
396: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
397:
398: <p>
399: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
400: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
401:
402: <p>
403: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
404: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
405: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
406:
407: <p>
408: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
409: read INSTALL.i386.
410:
411: <p>
412: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
413: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
414: use the
1.111 ! bentley 415: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 416: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.111 ! bentley 417: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 418: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

434: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
435: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
436: your BIOS options first.
437: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
438: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
439: boot from the floppy drive.
440:
441: <p>
442: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
443: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
444: INSTALL.amd64 document.
