414: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
415: <ul>
416: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
417: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
418: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
419: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
420:
421: <p>
422: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
423: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
424:
425: <p>
426: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
427: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
428: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
429:
430: <p>
431: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
432: read INSTALL.i386.
433:
434: <p>
435: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
436: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
437: use the
438: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
439: utility. The following is an example usage of
440: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
441: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

449: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

459: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
460: your BIOS options first.
461: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
462: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
463: boot from the floppy drive.
464:
