378: <ul>
379: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
380: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
381: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
382: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
383:
384: <p>
385: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
386: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
387:
388: <p>
389: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
390: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
391: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
392:
393: <p>
394: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
395: read INSTALL.i386.
396:
397: <p>
398: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
399: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
400: use the
401: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
402: utility. The following is an example usage of
403: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
404: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

423: your BIOS options first.
424: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
425: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
426: boot from the floppy drive.
427:
