    When booting up with the CD or floppy, type boot -c at the boot prompt,
    type 'disable apm' at the config prompt and exit the kernel boot
    config. This will at least fix your APM problem when installing. I had
    the same problem with an old IBM thinkpad. For more detailed info,
    check out http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=boot_config .
    About the non-existing root user; you'll probably have to reinstall
    OpenBSD.

    Good luck,
    Xander
