qemu doesn't work for some reason.  Anytime I try and use qemu I get the  
error "Cannot initialize SDL library..."

Yes, I have tried it in different hardware.  What exactly do cdbr and  
cdboot do?  I get the screen that says "OpenBSD boot loader" (with the  
hardware fd1 etc listed), with the "Loading /CDBOOT" above it and it just  
hangs.

cdbr is listed in the installation instructions as the cdboot loader.   
cdboot is the second stage boot loader IIRC.  Don't hesitate to correct me  
if I'm wrong here.

The help is apprecitated.  I'm not trying to make install media (that  
would actually be easy), just boot this liveCD.  Has anyone else gotten a  
LiveDVD to work?
