. ---------- MD instructions on setting up boot media
. If you are not booting off a CD-ROM, you will need to have some floppy disks to boot off; either three 1.44 MB floppies or one 1.2 MB floppy.
p Use
a boot1.fs and
a boot2.fs for VGA installation.
a boot-com1.fs and
a boot-com2.fs are available if you wish to use a serial console.
p If you are using a l system to write the floppy images to disks, you should use the .Xr dd command to copy the file system image(s) (.fs file) directly to the raw floppy disk. It is suggested that you read the .Xr dd 1 manual page or ask your system administrator to determine the correct set of arguments to use; it will be slightly different from system to system, and a comprehensive list of the possibilities is beyond the scope of this document.
p If you are using .Tn Microsoft Windows to write the floppy image(s) to floppy disk, you can use the c Rawrite32 Windows program. It can be downloaded from .Lk https://www.NetBSD.org/~martin/rawrite32 . A c rawrite utility for the .Tn MS-DOS environment is also available in the
a i386/installation/misc/ directory of the i386 install media.
