571: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

575: <ul>
576: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
577: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
578: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
579: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
580:
581: <p>
582: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
583: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
584:
585: <p>
586: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
587: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
588: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
589:
590: <p>
591: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
592: read INSTALL.i386.
593:
594: <p>
595: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
596: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
597: use the
598: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
599: utility. The following is an example usage of
600: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
601: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
