310: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
311: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
312: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
313: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
314:
315: <p>
316: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
317: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.

320: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
321: you can install across the network using PXE as described in

325: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

329: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
330: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
331: use the
1.11 sthen 332: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 333: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.11 sthen 334: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 sthen 335: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
336: "rfd0a".
