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