1.14 sobrado 306: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove

576: <ul>
577: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
578: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
579: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
580: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
581:
582: <p>
583: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
584: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
585:
586: <p>
1.58 bcallah 587: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install56.fs</i> or
588: <i>miniroot56.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
589:
590: <p>
591: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.1 deraadt 592: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
593: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
594:
595: <p>
596: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
597: read INSTALL.i386.
598:
599: <p>
600: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
601: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
602: use the
1.68 tb 603: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 604: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.68 tb 605: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 606: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
