472: <ul>
473: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
474: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
475: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
476: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
477:
478: <p>
479: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
480: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
481:
482: <p>
483: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
484: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
485: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
486:
487: <p>
488: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
489: read INSTALL.i386.
490:
491: <p>
492: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
493: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
494: use the
495: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
496: utility. The following is an example usage of
497: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
498: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
