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

347: <ul>
348: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
349: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
350: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
351: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
352:
353: <p>
354: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
355: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
356:
357: <p>
358: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
359: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
360: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
361:
362: <p>
363: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
364: read INSTALL.i386.
365:
366: <p>
367: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
368: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
369: use the
1.54 tb 370: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 371: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.54 tb 372: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
