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

441: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
442: <ul>
443: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
444: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
445: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
446: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
447:
448: <p>
449: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
450: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
451:
452: <p>
453: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
454: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
455: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
456:
457: <p>
458: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
459: read INSTALL.i386.
460:
461: <p>
462: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
463: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
464: use the
465: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
466: utility. The following is an example usage of
467: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
468: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

474:
475: <p>
476: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
477: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
478: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

766: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
