Hi,
I'm getting this error while trying to boot a CD burned with
install70.iso to perform a new install:
{1} ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/cdrom@0,0:f File and args:

I've had no problem booting this system with the installXX.iso image
since OpenBSD 6.1. To recheck, I had no problem booting from the
install69.iso image. As expected, I see:

OpenBSD 6.9 (RAMDISK) #742: Sun Apr 18 12:51:53 MDT 2021

I tried installing 6.9, then booting with "boot cdrom sr0a:/bsd.rd"
but the install script won't find the 7.0 tgz install files as it's
only looking for the 6.9 tgz files. I tried specifying both cd & disk
along with various path combinations when the install script asks.
The only post I found from someone with a similar issue can be found
here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/tech@openbsd.org/msg61470.html
but it doesn't seem to apply here as it was affecting later 6.x versions
with which I have no problem.
I also tried specifying bsd.rd with various syntax but it's not finding it:
{1} ok boot cdrom bsd.rd
Rebooting with command: boot cdrom bsd.rd
Boot device: /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/cdrom@0,0:f File and args: bsd.rd

I've also tried reburning and validating the CD a few more times
with different burning software (all on linux) and burners with the
same result.
Has anyone experienced a related issue and have a possible fix or
workaround?
Let me know if other information is required.
Thanks!
