350: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller

363: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
364: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
365: use the
366: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
367: utility. The following is an example usage of
368: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
369: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
370: "rfd0a".

373: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

375:
376: <p>
377: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
378: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
379: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

385: <ul>
386: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
387: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
388: your BIOS options first.
389: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
390: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
391: boot from the floppy drive.
392:
393: <p>
394: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
395: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
396: INSTALL.amd64 document.
397:

420:
421: <ul><pre>
422: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

426:
427: <p>
428: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
429: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
430: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
431: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
