   Went to the SGI O2 command monitor and input
boot -f dksc(0,4,8)

What happens if you try

 boot -f dksc(0,4,8)/boot

On my system that loads the bootloader from from cdrom and then
continues to load the already installed OpenBSD kernel from disk.  If
your O2 currently has IRIX installed, then things will probably fail.

Of the above command displays something like:

OpenBSD/sgi Arcbios boot
...

Try

 setenv SystemPartition pci(0)scsi(0)cdrom(4)rdisk(0)partition(8)
 unsetenv OSLoadPartition
 unsetenv OSLoadFilename
 boot -f boot /bsd

This should land you in the OpenBSD installation process.

i was under the impression that the only way to install the 3.7 release
of OpenBSD/mips was via tftp / netboot. this is the only installation
method mentioned in the install doc. it worked fine for me.

 Hello List,
 I could not find a specific mailing list for sgi or mips, hopefully someone 
 can assist me with trying to install OpenBSD on an O2.
 
 I have tried several ftp sites to burn the snapshot image of sgi but when I 
 use Roxio CD Creator it tells me invalid image even though the image is 
 cd37.iso. Any help on this would be appreciated.
 
 Also unable to to boot -f dksc(0,4,8)3.7/sgi/bsd.rd that I burned from the 
 3.7/sgi ftp folder. Error message is invalid header and/or unrecognized 
 file format.
 
 Any help on this would be much appreciated.
 
 Thank you,
