I did so, but nothing changed.
I HAD to change the setup before I could test it, to allow a
boot-from-cd, but that can't have something to do with it.
Can the partitioning of the disk have something to do with the
problem?
I thought that regardless of partitions, I should be able to format
the drive under a running obsd (I bought the CD-pack) and then
installing on it.
I have switched from the SCSI-CD-drive to an IDE one now (a DVD in
fact), but that didn't change a thing (besides being faster than my
very old CD).
