The kernel embeds information that is different each time it is compiled. If you are using the kernel from the official release, the MD5 sum should be available at the official ftp site. The file would be ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/i386/MD5 (assuming i386 is your architecture). For the generic kernel MD5 (bsd) = e8f67a2fd90f98d5b4edee9fe837c2fd > I was trying to install my openbsd on a reletively old pc, all went just fine. > I.e.

Could it be a kernel bug also? Can't tell. Repost as a separate request, and include the dmesg if possible. (This can be tricky if the machine won't boot. Note that using the installation CD, you can establish a working networked system and copy the dmesg to another machine, maybe using ftp. (I don't remember if scp is available on the install media).)
