I cannot see how HD partitioning would affect CD reading; but assume nothing until proven.

Seems unlikely that you'd be unlucky enough to have 5 bogus CDs or BIOSes, or CD/DVD drives (I did have one DVD burner that OpenBSD did not like - sporadic errors *like* yours but too long ago for me to say for certain - but Windows seems happy enough with the drive.) Or maybe you have really upset someone somewhere? 8-) Can you borrow a CD / DVD burner from someone else? I'll leave it at that - I would try following the instructions to the letter just to eliminate that; then you'll have to try other CD/DVD drives. The more I think about it, the more my brain is telling me that the issue I had with the DVD burner gave me the same behaviour as you are reporting - boots OK, initial installation OK, fails on installation of sets. But might be a false memory from thinking about it too long! I bought a Pioneer DVD (more expensive that the Dick Smith's one) and it did not work with OpenBSD - but it was OK with Windows. Got the cheaper drive, and all was well. But can you really be that unlucky to get *FIVE* CD/DVD drives that don't work?

Re: Installation troubles
Asking the obvious questions to eliminate them first ... 1. Official CDs? 2. Can you read/copy the CD on *any* machines / *any* OS? 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.)
