Default Boot from Windows

Hi guys!
I'm a total OpenBSD newbie.
I have a pc that doesn't support boot from cd-rom, and
the disk drive is missing. On the HD there's Win95.
I want to know if if possible to boot the setup of OpenBSD
from the Dos prompt like in Debian GNU/Linux.
Thanks, Paul

OpenBSD doesn't provide tools to do that. (And I don't know if any
exists.)

Did you try using a floppy to boot? It's only a matter of putting
floppy33.fs on floppy. There's a dos tools rawrite provided on the
CD to do that in DOS/Win95/Win98.

All of this should be explained in the INSTALL.i386 document found
on the CD.
