Re: 4.2 won't install on DS10

I did have OpenBSD 3.9 in console mode running on a VS10 ages ago. It  
ran really well actually. It's just 4.2 on this DS10 that's causing  
grief. It produces lots of errors when trying to read the  
applications from the cd now during install. I'm giving up I think.
