346: <ul>
347: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
348: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
349: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
350: <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppy46.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
351:
352: <p>
353: Use <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppyB46.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
354: support, or <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppyC46.fs</i> for better laptop support.
355:
356: <p>
357: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
358: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
359: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
360:
361: <p>
362: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
363: read INSTALL.i386.
364:
365: <p>
366: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
367: at <i>CD1:4.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
368: use the
369: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
370: utility. The following is an example usage of
371: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
372: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
