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

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