364: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
365: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
366: use the
367: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>

369: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

387: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
388: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
389: your BIOS options first.
390: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
391: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
392: boot from the floppy drive.
393:
