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?
