Obviously, if I hadn't tried to boot I wouldn't be asking here; but I'll
humor you ;-) ...:
"Searching for Boot Record from CD/DVD-0..Not Found
Boot Failure
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device
Press any key when ready

It's not I who is having problems. I think it's OpenBSD.

It doesn't take much to look at the contents of the ISO file and see

This is a great start for a new system.
