461: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
462: <ul>
463: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
464: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
465: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
466: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
467:
468: <p>
469: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
470: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
471:
472: <p>
473: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
474: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
475: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
476:
477: <p>
478: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
479: read INSTALL.i386.
480:
481: <p>
482: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
483: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
484: use the
485: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
486: utility. The following is an example usage of
487: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
488: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

506: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
507: your BIOS options first.
508: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
509: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
510: boot from the floppy drive.
511:

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