notebook: HP Compaq nc6220 - unable to boot from installation CD (crashes)

Hi folks,

I own a HP Compaq nc6220. I really like this notebook, business look and
quality. But I have a serious problem with OpenBSD.
I just tried an OpenBSD 3.9 installation CD on it and can't boot
properly (already had that problem with OpenBSD 3.8)

The boot process stops at different points every time, so it doesn't
help to disable devices (anyway I tried it!)

Does anyone have similar problems? Is there any solution available? The
Hardware should be fine (~6 months old, Windows/FreeBSD/Knoppix all work!)!
I don't want to sell this notebook and buy a Thinkpad instead ... ;-\
Thanks for your help in advance.

All the best,
Vincent
