561: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
562: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
563: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
564: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
565:
566: <p>
567: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
568: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
569:
570: <p>
571: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
572: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
573: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
574:
575: <p>
576: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
577: read INSTALL.i386.
578:
579: <p>
580: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
581: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
582: use the

605: your BIOS options first.
606: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
607: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
608: boot from the floppy drive.
