! 453:
1.1 deraadt 454: <p>
455: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
456: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
457: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
458: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
459:
460: <p>
461: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
462: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
463:
464: <p>
465: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
466: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
467: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
468:
469: <p>
470: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
471: read INSTALL.i386.
472:
473: <p>
474: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
475: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
476: use the
1.62 ! bentley 477: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>

497: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
498: your BIOS options first.
499: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
500: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
501: boot from the floppy drive.
502:
503: <p>
504: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
505: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
