Eric,

Bsd.rd is the initrd for openbsd nothing more you really need to Install ALL
sets. Including games. Make certain your bios has PnP set to BIOS and not
OS. Follow the tutorial steps closely; print them out if possible. The
install process is rather user hostile (more so than even debian) but that's
OpenBSD for you!
