WHY AM I DOING THIS:
I have limited internet access, a very very slow internet connection
(dialup), no official cd money.

CURRENT SYSTEM (All work is beoing preformed on):
Windows XP - so all the guides dealing with building an obsd cd from
current system dont apply to me.

APPLICATIONS/SOFTWARE USED:
- WinISO to add the necessary files to cd38.iso
- Nero to burn iso image

WHAT I HAVE DONE:
Over the past week(Yes, you heard right! The past week.. I have dialup
and even worse AOL frawn). Anyhow, I have downloaded

and built the following cd structure using the orignial 38cd.iso found
on the main OBSD mirror as a starting point.

THE PROBLEM:
when I test the iso in vmWare 5.x.x everything is fine until the
install asks where my "sets" are located as you can see the

"sets" are located in the default folder (3.8/i386) and for one reason
or another my cd fails on locating the files.

Do I need to edit some file located in the original 38cd.iso when
adding "sets" ? I just noticed that in the boot.conf the

BSD.RD file is referenced in the follwoing manner "set image
/3.8/i386/bsd.rd
" must this be done for all sets i wish to

include?

How about putting the stuff on an internal ftp server? You could
boot to floppy / cd and install via ftp.

Yeah, that's what I do. I also keep the OpenBSD images in the structure the
installer expects (i.e. /pub/OpenBSD/3.8) to make the procedure as brainless
as possible .
