446: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
447: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
448: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
449: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
450:
451: <p>
452: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
453: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
454:
455: <p>
456: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
457: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
458: the included INSTALL.i386 document.

461: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
462: read INSTALL.i386.

464: <p>
465: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
466: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
467: use the
1.55 sthen 468: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>

1.1 deraadt 745: if you know nothing about ports
746: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
747: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
748: OpenBSD ports system.

750: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
