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

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