940: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
941: <ul>
942: The OpenBSD/i386 release is on CD1.
943: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
944: your BIOS options first.
945:
946: <p>
947: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install59.fs</i> or
948: <i>miniroot59.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
949:
950: <p>
951: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
952: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
953: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
