Hello

I own an old notebook (pentium 155mmx with cdrom).
I tried to install the first netbsd 1.6.0 iso on it, but the
installation failed. At least, I cannot boot the iso kernel.
There are some screen outputs when I boot the cd :

booting fd0a:netbsd - starting in 0
open netbsd : No such file or directory
boot: fd0a : netbsd : No such file or directory
booting fd0a : netbsd.gz
open netbsd.gz : No such file or directory

.. and it goes on like this.
Can somebody explain to me, how to solve this boot problem, I didn`t
find anything on the main netbsdpage ?

Greetings
