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

403: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
404: <ul>
405: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
406: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
407: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
408: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
409:
410: <p>
411: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
412: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
413:
414: <p>
415: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
416: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
417: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
418:
419: <p>
420: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
421: read INSTALL.i386.
422:
423: <p>
424: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
425: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
426: use the
427: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
428: utility. The following is an example usage of
429: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
430: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

438: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
439: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

449: your BIOS options first.
450: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
451: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
452: boot from the floppy drive.
