install probs




Please help resolve Install Problem:
 
Install : boot from floppy    Open BSD - purchased CD from OpenBSD.org   ver2.8
 
PC = Dell Dimension P-75; 32MB Ram; master HD = Fujitsu MPB3043ATU (4GB)
 
also in box is a 0.5 GB HD Quantum FireBall 540A and a 100MB internal zip
 
install works until time to extract files
option chosen = all files
some extract
ones that do not extract are:
base28.tgz
bsd
misc28.tgz
game28.tgz
xbase28.tgz
xfont28.tgz
 
error messages fly by - did not record them all
often it says - "media error" and "check condition opcode 28"
 
on floppy boot sees fd0, hd0, hd1
(but prior to floopy boot - HD1 & 2 "installed", CD-ROM Drive installed XFOOD1-E, and floppy installed)
 
in the blue highlighted data on the floppy boot it says:
cd0 at scsibus0 targ 1 lun 0: <MITSUMI, CD-ROM       !B,  B04> SCSI0 5/cdrom removable
 
I do not understand it - there is no scsi in this old box - the cdrom is internal
 
HELP

PS:
- No CD booting on this old box
- I followed installation procedure as outlined at OpenBSD.org web site
- FAQ's reviewed
- ? does the partition routine format the HD as well or is there a HD formatting I could do to set a cleaner background prior to install - the HD had RedHat 6.2 (yuk !) in prior install.
