There are several installation media provided: |

<ul> |
|
<li><strong>CD boot</strong> |
|
<p> |
|
Booting off the OpenBSD CD provides an <i>El Torito</i> 2.88MB floppy image |
|
that contains drivers for the most popular devices found in alpha |
|
hardware. |
|
This also includes minimal USB support (storage devices, keyboard and |
|
some ethernet adapters).<br> |
|
For the latest list of drivers available on this image, please take a |
|
look at the |
