I'm trying to install OpenBSD on to a Sony Vaio laptop, model number
PCG-Z600NE (on front label) / PCG-5291 (on underneath label), bought
in the UK 5-6 years ago. It is a has a 12" screen, external USB floppy
drive and external PCMCIA CDROM drive. I replaced the original hard
drive with a 30GB Hitachi about 3 years ago and increased the memory to
256MB.
I'm not having much success. When booting from cd39.iso or floppy39.fs
I get the familiar OpenBSD installer text on a blue background, but
it hangs before reaching the `(I)nstall, (U)pgrade or (S)hell?'
prompt. With floppyC39.fs, I again get the installer text, but then a
panic.
Here's the text that I see on the screen when things stop. I've typed
this in by hand, so there may be mistakes:

I've installed Win2000 and Ubuntu Linux from CD with no problems on this
machine in the past.
Does anyone have any suggestions to make things work, or to find out
more information?
Thanks for any help,
- Julian
