I am using UltraSparc1 with CDROM and floppy drive. I made boot
floppy and sparc64 cdrom, but the installation procedure failes.

As you go through, when you are prompted for choosing installation
media,

(c)drom, (n)fs, ...... and so on

I press "c" for cdrom media, but the installation keeps reprompting me
the media choice again. According to OpenBSD 3.5 installation guide,
nfs method is not available for sparc64 platform.

Has anyone tried to installing sparc64 OpenBSD 3.5 on Ultra Sparc
machine?

Thank you,
Jason

However, due to space constraints on boot floppies _only_, it is not
possible to install from cd-rom if you have booted off a floppy.

You can either choose ftp as an installation method, or boot from a
cdrom (the cdrom installation media does not have this restriction).
