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

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