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

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