Greetings,

Try to install OpenBSD 4.2 i386 on a new HP Compaq dc7700 Small Form Factor, but when it comes to install the software sets from the CD, the install
fails:

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

it stops here, blanks out!

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
cd0(pciide0:1:0) using PIO mode 4, Ultra DMA mode 5


[cut]

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.)
