563: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
564: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
565: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
566: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
567:
568: <p>
569: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
570: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
571:
572: <p>
573: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
574: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
575: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
576:
577: <p>
578: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
579: read INSTALL.i386.
580:
581: <p>
582: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
583: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
584: use the
585: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
586: utility. The following is an example usage of
587: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
588: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
