3. Specifically - if you FTP install OpenBSD , can you then mount / copy / do anything with the CD?

4. dmesg(s)

Personal experience ...

I have installed 3.8 to 4.2 from CDs on machines from P3 500 to Pentium D 2.something via Celeron 900Mhz (Dells, HPs, Compaqs, desktops and laptops) - only real issue was a bogus 4.1 CD than no machine would touch.

I had a CD error with 4.2 today (same CD that I have done 3 installs with already!) when extracting Xenocara - so I umounted, ejected, took CD out, waggled it around while saying magic incantation, remounted, and tried again and it worked (well, no errors reported.)

HTH, YMMV, IANAD, etc.

Evening... I'm trying install my fresh 4.2 CDs on a system that is destined to become a samba server and build machine for CF-based firewalls. Only I'm having a problem (obviously). This is the third release where I'm having this issue, but previously I just chalked it up to old, cranky CDROM drives, and went with FTP. But given this is all new hardware, time to figure out what's really happening.

This system is fresh-built amd64 (but will be running/compiling all i386 binaries to avoid having to cross-compile Soekris builds), IDE DVD-ROM drive, SATA hard drive. Boots from CD, then gets through partitioning, labelling, and formatting the drive just fine. Network config sails through, until I finally hit "Let's install the sets!". I hit enter for the defaults 'cd' and 'cd0', at which point I get the following:

cd0(atapiscsi0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x28
   SENSE KEY: Media Error
    ASC/ASCQ: ASC 0x11 ASCQ 0x06

This message repeats three times, at which point the installer gives up, reports 'No filesystems found on cd0', and asks again where to find the sets. For what it's worth, this happens on four different i386 machines of various vintage (from a 16 year old 486 up through tonight's Sempron build), with official CD releases from 4.0 onwards. I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious, but Google and MARC didn't turn up anything, so cluesticks are welcome.
1.  Yes, they're official CDs straight from austin@
2.  Yes, both my WinXP laptop and WinXP-64 desktop can read/copy
3. I vaguely recall installing packages from one of them after doing the FTP install, but I'll try again later tonight. 4. I'd love to, but except for the 486 (stuffed in a closet), they don't have serial ports to redirect to.
Picked up a USB to serial converter on the way home from the office. Here's a complete installation attempt using the 4.2 i386 CD:

Welcome to the OpenBSD/i386 4.2 install program.

This program will help you install OpenBSD. At any prompt except password
prompts you can escape to a shell by typing '!'. Default answers are shown
in []'s and are selected by pressing RETURN.  At any time you can exit this
program by pressing Control-C, but exiting during an install can leave your
system in an inconsistent state.

Terminal type? [vt220]
kbd(8) mapping? ('L' for list) [none]

IS YOUR DATA BACKED UP? As with anything that modifies disk contents, this
program can cause SIGNIFICANT data loss.

It is often helpful to have the installation notes handy. For complex disk
configurations, relevant disk hardware manuals and a calculator are useful.

Proceed with install? [no] y
Cool! Let's get to it.

You will now initialize the disk(s) that OpenBSD will use. To enable all
available security features you should configure the disk(s) to allow the
creation of separate filesystems for /, /tmp, /var, /usr, and /home.

Available disks are: wd0.
Which one is the root disk? (or 'done') [wd0]
Do you want to use *all* of wd0 for OpenBSD? [no] y
Putting all of wd0 into an active OpenBSD MBR partition (type 'A6')...done.

You will now create an OpenBSD disklabel inside the OpenBSD MBR
partition. The disklabel defines how OpenBSD splits up the MBR partition
into OpenBSD partitions in which filesystems and swap space are created.

The offsets used in the disklabel are ABSOLUTE, i.e. relative to the
start of the disk, NOT the start of the OpenBSD MBR partition.

# Inside MBR partition 3: type A6 start 63 size 156296322
Treating sectors 63-156296385 as the OpenBSD portion of the disk.
You can use the 'b' command to change this.

No label changes.
No more disks to initialize.
