The last time I installed OpenBSD, was 2.8 on an intel box. As I have an
HP9000 712/60 (Bootrom version 2.0 (BOOT_ADMIN>)), I figured it was high
time that I put a fresh version on the box, and tried it out again. I'm a
little confused, however.

While the install doc has info for net-booting, I've had little success
(either with rbootd or dhcpd/bootp). The dhcpd sees the request, and
grants an IP address, but there seems to be a tftpd glitch, and no attempt
to boot the lif35.fs is made. Hmmm ... I've configured the host machine
to serve up tftpd, and the lif35.fs is available so that should work.

Be that as it may, I'd prefer to boot from a cd. In the distro, I see the
xxboot file, which mkisofs refuses to put into a boot image (wrong size
for a floppy I guess). Now in browsing the main ftp site, I see a file
(cd35.iso) with no information. The FreeBSD file command identifies it as
a .lif file. Is that the cd boot segment for creating/burning an install
..iso? Is it possible to create a PA-RISC boot cd in OpenBSD 3.5??

Sorry to trouble the group with this, but I'm not exactly a beginner, and
yet I seem to be having more grief than I should. Any pointers would be
appreciated!

Cheers,
Rob.
