The comp set isn't required to RUN OpenBSD. Install the minimal
(kernel, base, etc) and I think that will get the system running. Then
you can alter the booting mechanism (verbose) and make tweaks before
loading comp.
I'm hitting Google with your pciide0 string and for the 2 minutes of
searching, all I see are various people having problems. Maybe because
people won't complain or give this kind of information normally if
things are working well. I'll continue to search... could you/would
you install the minimal and work from there? Maybe it's corrupt on the
source! CD pressed/burned badly. Older OpenBSD release working?
couple of things to try... i'll look when I get a second or two.

"I can" is a way of life.
More and Bigger is not always Better.
The road to success is always uphill.
