220: depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
221: small data-size limits.

345: <ul>
346: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
347: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
348: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
349: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
350:
351: <p>
352: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
353: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
354:
355: <p>
356: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
357: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
358: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
359:
360: <p>
361: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
362: read INSTALL.i386.
363:
364: <p>
365: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
366: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
367: use the
1.50 sthen 368: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 369: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.50 sthen 370: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 371: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
