560: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
561: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
562: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
563: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
564:
565: <p>
566: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
567: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
568:
569: <p>
570: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
571: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
572: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
573:

575: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
576: read INSTALL.i386.

579: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
580: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
581: use the
