545: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
546: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
547: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
548: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
549:
550: <p>
551: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
552: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.

555: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

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

564: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
565: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
566: use the
1.47 sthen 567: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>

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