question of installl openBSD on an OLD laptop

For some reason I have to install openBSD on an old laptop(P166 with
32mb RAM). Luckily I got floppy disk drive and CD-ROM to start the
laptop with. But that didn't work.
I got an unofficial openBSD CD image(version 3.6) from internet and
burn it. The cd image worked well with my AMD 2000+ computer. But when
I start the laptop with it, nothing happened, the CD-ROM driver read
for a while and stopped, and the boot process died there. The CD-ROM
drive of my laptop works fine under Windows 98 on it.
Then I tried the floppy disk, attempting to boot the laptop with floppy
disk boot image downloaded from official ftp site(version 3.8, both
floppy38.fs and floppy38C.fs). But it output "Loading..... \n ERROR"
and stopped. The floppy drive works fine, too.
Is there any one could offer me some advice? Any help would be
appreciated, I was really confused!
Thx!
