First, you're in the wrong group, this is c.u.b.netbsd.misc,
c.u.b.openbsd.misc is next door :-)

Unless you specifically need 4.1, get 4.2 which is the latest release.

It is, really. Check the download isn't corrupted.

You need to know how to burn it as an image, please double check that you
have that straight.

Hi Mark,

thanks for your fast answer and sorry for beeing in the wrong group. I
tested sgi mips images from netbsd too and had the same problem. For
that it should be ok to write here.

file cd41.iso
cd41.iso: SGI disk label (volume header)

The file should be ok!
