375 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
376 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
378 cce97a6e 2019-05-27 bentley <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
381 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
382 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
383 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
384 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
387 bfacd7a4 2005-03-25 jaredy Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
388 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
391 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
392 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning you can install across the network using PXE as described in
393 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning the included INSTALL.i386 document.
396 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
397 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning read INSTALL.i386.
400 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
401 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
402 cce97a6e 2019-05-27 bentley use the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
403 cce97a6e 2019-05-27 bentley utility. The following is an example usage of

405 bfacd7a4 2005-03-25 jaredy where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

428 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning your BIOS options first.
429 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
430 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
431 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning boot from the floppy drive.
434 9325eee5 2005-03-23 henning If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
