Otto,

The cdrom drive isn't being seen in the installation phase. I can see the
drive during system boot, but not during the OBSD floppy boot; the only
devices I see are fd0, hd0 and hd1.

I initially presumed the drive would fall under the "most scsi cdrom..." so
I attempted the installation.

Thanks,
Brian.

It would probably fall in the category "Most SCSI CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD
and DVD-RW drives" and if so, it is supported.

But without more details and a dmesg, we really cannot tell.
