+<h3><font color=#0000e0>Install media</font></h3>
+A number of install options exist:
+<ul>
+<li><strong>CD boot:</strong><p>
+Booting off the CD provides an El Torido 2.88MB floppy image
+that contains almost all OpenBSD drivers.<p>
+<li><strong>Floppy A:</strong><p>
+This 1.44MB floppy image contains the most common drivers.  As a general rule,
+you will find that the missing drivers are ones which need large microcodes
+to run.  This includes a few of the more rare scsi cards, gigabit ethernet
+cards, or RAID devices.<p>
+<li><strong>Floppy B:</strong><p>
+This 1.44MB floppy image contains the drivers that are missing on Floppy A.
+Due to space considerations, you will find that some other drivers are missing.
+In particular, support for most PCMCIA devices are missing, as are really
+ancient hardware devices.  In some ways, this media is designed to help people
+setting up modern server type systems, since it contains almost all the SCSI
+and RAID drivers.<p>
+<li><strong>Floppy C:</strong><p>
+This 1.44MB floppy image contains many cardbus and pcmcia device drivers.  It
+is an excellent choice to use for laptops.  In most cases, one would discover
+that Floppy A also works, but the odd laptop might benefit more from using this
+image.<p>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Use the method that works best for you.
