Yes Nick, this is it.
I've tried with images ISO of ftp.openbsd.org.
I have an old machine, which is: proliant ml370 compaq; cdrom scsi, etc.
and it does not boot by cdrom: install42.iso release, amd64, cd42.iso, 
cdemu.iso. 4.3 snapshot.
I'll make a disc with floppyB42.fs and floppy42.fs (amd64) and try.
This today.
My problem is with the cdrom.

Ok...we'll see.

lots of responses, all wrong.

This issue ONLY impacted the official, purchased CD sets, not the
downloadable images.  If you have the official CD set, you just use
the disk labeled "amd64", not the one labeled i386.  That's pretty
painfully obvious if you own the CDs, so I think you are referring
to the downloaded images.

So, if you can't install from the downloads, you have a problem other
than what you are looking at.

Provide useful info, we can provide guidance.

Note: i386 machines I call "old" can't boot from CD. :)

Nick.

did you swap the disk for the i386 one at the boot loader?

first CD 2...of amd64.
whats the cd2?! this is question.

Read the FaQ I sent earlier.

To get it to boot, you need *TWO* CD.

One that is the amd64 ISO one.

ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/amd64/cd42.iso

That needs to be burn to CD as a bootable CD obviously with your CD 
Writer and use an ISO file as source.


You should have the regular CD for i386.

ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/i386/install42.iso

Looks like if you need to asked, you didn't follow the direction and you 
do not have 2 CD to get around the problem.


If you can work that way, then just use the current, that is for now the 
4.3:


ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/cd43.iso

and do the snapshots install that will give you 4.3 for now.


Best,

Daniel

Do I have another way to make it work properly?!

Both the i386 and amd64 iso files have the same name.  Be sure you are using
the *right* one.

If you do not have the CD set, then download /pub/OpenBSD/4.2/amd64/cd42.iso
from your nearest mirror.
