Greetings,
Try to install OpenBSD 4.2 i386 on a new HP Compaq dc7700 Small

but when it comes to install the software sets from the CD, the

fails:

Which one contains the install media? (or `done`) [cd0]

During boot the cd0 works OK (is seems), and it is recognized as:
cd0 at scsibus0 targ0 lun0: <TSSTcorp, CDW/DWD TS-H493A, CD067
SCSI0 5/cdrom
removable

Have you eliminated the obvious? For example ...
Does the CD work on other machines - can you install OpenBSD off the
same CD?
Does the machine work with other CDs (Linux, Windows, whatever?)
Can you get another OpenBSD CD to try?
There is the really-old-machine issue recently on misc@ - I've had
something similar with a scratched CD (but get errors rather than
blank output.)
