351: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
352: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
353: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
354: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
355:
356: <p>
357: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
358: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
359:
360: <p>
361: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
362: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
363: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
364:
365: <p>
366: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
367: read INSTALL.i386.
368:
369: <p>
370: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
371: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
372: use the
373: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
374: utility. The following is an example usage of
375: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
376: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
377: "rfd0a".
378:
379: <ul><pre>
380: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
381: </pre></ul>
382:
383: <p>
384: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
385: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
386: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

393: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
394: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
395: your BIOS options first.
396: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
397: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
398: boot from the floppy drive.
399:
400: <p>
