Thanks everybady for answering my stupid question.Seems like the cause
wasn't
DVD drive.I'm afraid of that I said stupid things.

I haven't found
informations of somebady who installs OpenBSD on this 
VAIO.However I found
some informations of installed Linux on this VAIO
in some websites.there say
instalation will stop without disable pci.
Some of them also disable usb by
the command below.

linux ide2=0x180,0x386 pci=off
linux ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66
ide2=0x180,0x386 nousb

Does OpenBSD also have commands like these?

Thank you.I tried.Unless It shows the same problem... Maybe 4.8 is
going to
be much better??

Is there a method to boot from floopy after booting from CD?

[z6w0xp]

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?
