I'm trying into install OpenBSD 4.0 onto my laptop. It's a Pentium 3 1.13
MHz with 768MB RAM.
I burned an install CD following the installation instructions. I buned the
cd40.iso first, started a multisession CD. Then afterwards, burned the rest
of the packages and finished the multisession C

I tried burning this CD 3 times and none of them worked, so that's out. I'm
almost certain that the CD drive is old enough that it doesn't boot from
multisession CDs (that's so unusual for me. ;) ) I will try to burn a cd-rw
with cd40.iso firs

The packages aren't included in cd40.iso, are they? From what I understand,
I must either do what I did, or burn 2 CDs, one for the boot pr

Are you saying I should burn the cd40.iso image twice? I've never had to
Thanks to everyone for your help. I was able to boot OpenBSD and am now
following the documentation through the rest of the install process.
This distro has amazingly detailed documentation! :)
