450: <ul>
451: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
452: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
453: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
454: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
455:
456: <p>
457: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
458: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
459:
460: <p>
461: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
462: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
463: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
464:
465: <p>
466: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
467: read INSTALL.i386.
468:
469: <p>
470: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
471: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
472: use the
473: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
474: utility. The following is an example usage of
475: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
476: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

497: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
498: boot from the floppy drive.
