! 270: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

! 272:
! 273: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 274: <ul>
! 275: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 276: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 277: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 278: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 279:
! 280: <p>
! 281: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 282: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 283:
! 284: <p>
! 285: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 286: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 287: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 288:
! 289: <p>
! 290: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 291: read INSTALL.i386.
! 292:
! 293: <p>
! 294: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 295: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 296: use the
! 297: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 298: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 299: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 300: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

! 320: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 321: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then

! 588: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
