You're not offering a lot of info here, but let me venture a guess: for some odd reason, your CD-ROM is identified as something else by the installer kernel. I'd try the disk option and try any disks presented. Without a dmesg (see eg http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#getdmesg) it's not possible to offer any other insights. > (2) I tried to install with PXE Boot, I booted bsd.rd from another > machine that also offered the sets with http to 10.0.0.1/5.8/i386, > but the installation program did not find the sets.

BTW ftp is also not offered, only disc and http. were those files also visible by pointing a browser at http://10.0.0.1/5.8/i386 ? -- Peter N. M.
