Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386 release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write *************** *** 364,389 **** To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at CD1:4.6/tools/rawrite.exe. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the ! dd(1) utility. The following is an example usage of ! dd(1), where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a". !
# dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k !
Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to this page. -
