Yes, I am installing from CD media.

I suppose it's possible that the CD drive is crapping out, and I just  
tried to test it, but I've just tried two different cables,  
enclosures, and drives, and I get the same issue.

I've looked to see if I could do the net install process from FreeBSD  
(or anything non-HPUX), but no one seems to have documented such a  
process.

If you've got any other ideas, I'm all ears.
