<h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>

<ul>

<p>

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

Line 364

Line 374

To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located

at <i>CD1:4.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,

use the

utility. The following is an example usage of

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,

where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

"rfd0a".

# <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

</pre></ul>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

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

Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it

is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
