489: <ul>
490: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
491: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
492: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
493: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
494:
495: <p>
496: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
497: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
498:
499: <p>
500: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
501: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
502: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
503:
504: <p>
505: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
506: read INSTALL.i386.
507:
508: <p>
509: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
510: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
511: use the
512: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
513: utility. The following is an example usage of
514: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

535: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
536: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
537: boot from the floppy drive.
