Have you eliminated the obvious? For example ...
Does the CD work on other machines - can you install OpenBSD off the
same CD?
Does the machine work with other CDs (Linux, Windows, whatever?)
Can you get another OpenBSD CD to try?
There is the really-old-machine issue recently on misc@ - I've had
something similar with a scratched CD (but get errors rather than
blank output.)
