Check the OpenBSD FAQ and make sure your NICs are compatible. Also, try downloading the 3.1 install floppy and do an ftp install. It is possible that the cds you have are corrupt.

This was a good answr i never gave thought to the cd being corrupt. I neded up just installing a copy of NetBSD because of it larger NIC support.
Thanks,
