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

448: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
449: <ul>
450: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
451: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
452: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
453: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
454:
455: <p>
456: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
457: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
458:
459: <p>
460: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
461: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
462: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
463:
464: <p>
465: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
466: read INSTALL.i386.
467:
468: <p>
469: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
470: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
471: use the
472: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
473: utility. The following is an example usage of
474: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
475: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

483: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
484: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

493: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
494: your BIOS options first.
495: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
496: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
497: boot from the floppy drive.
498:
