As noted, PC-BSD is not OpenBSD. But yes, that complaint would be valid.

Speaking of OpenBSD, is there an installation iso file to burn on a
CD? I see lots of files, some iso files, but nothing very large.

In this directory (or do BSD users call them folders?) on one of the
US mirrors :

/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/i386

the largest file is under 100 MB.

And I don't see an "installation" iso image. Maybe I'm looking in the
wrong place, though.

Go read the FAQ on the website.

The `official' full CD is sold. It's fairly easy to rebuild something similar
from the provided files, though just read the instructions.

It's often not necessary to create a full CD to install, provided you have
net access. In fact, with modern machines, if you have access to a box that
can act as tftp, just netboot.
