I've tried with images ISO of ftp.openbsd.org. I have an old machine, which is: proliant ml370 compaq; cdrom scsi, etc. and it does not boot by cdrom: install42.iso release, amd64, cd42.iso, cdemu.iso. 4.3 snapshot. I'll make a disc with floppyB42.fs and floppy42.fs (amd64) and try. This today. My problem is with the cdrom.
Ok...we'll see. -- *Saulo Bozzi Daleprane* /"Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence"./
