460: <ul>
461: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
462: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
463: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
464: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
465:
466: <p>
467: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
468: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
469:
470: <p>
471: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
472: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
473: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
474:
475: <p>
476: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
477: read INSTALL.i386.
478:
479: <p>
480: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
481: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
482: use the
483: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
484: utility. The following is an example usage of
485: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
486: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

494: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

505: your BIOS options first.
506: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
507: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
508: boot from the floppy drive.
