1.1 deraadt 462: <p>
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>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
467:
468: <p>
469: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
470: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.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>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
484: use the
1.46 ! bentley 485: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>

1.46 ! bentley 487: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,

505: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
506: your BIOS options first.
507: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
508: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
509: boot from the floppy drive.
510:
511: <p>
512: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
