Hello, My name is Topaz. Nice to meet everybady.
I'm a windows user now.And
Installing OpenBSD is First time.

I bought Sony Vaio PCG-U1 about 5 or 6years
ago.
on this laptop, Windows XP is running.But It's very heavy
for this
laptop.So I was looking for a lighter OS.
I was interested in Linux.But I
found OpenBSD while I
was serching a OS that I should change from Windows.
I
got very interested in the belief of OpenBSD.So I decided 
installing OpenBSD.
Even though I met a trouble in front of instalation.I tried 3 CDs
cd47.iso ,
cdemu47.iso And install47.iso.But all of them show the same
result.First I can
boot every instalation CD.And then The display
shows "boot>" . After that,
many characters appear.Unless instalation 
won't continue after the messages
below appears.

isa0 at pcib0
isadma0 at isa0
pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5

My
laptop can be booted by ONLY IEEE1394 connected DVD drive.So I
guess the drive
isn't supported by OpenBSD.That's why istallation won't
continue from the
middle.So I'd like to know ways to boot from floppy
disk drive or something
like that.

Maybe It's possible by typing something when "boot >" is shown?
