I tried creating an OpenBSD 7.3 virtual machine on my new computer (Arch Linux host) and the installer kept crashing with the error:
dc_atapi_start: not ready, st = 50

I did a bunch of searching online and tried a several different suggestions but that one that worked for me was from this Reddid thread:

Switch the virtual cd drive from ide to sata. Worked for me. Exact same issue.
I use virt-manager to manage VMs. These are the steps to do that when creating the VM:
- Create the VM and at the last step choose “Customize configuration before install”
- Click on the “IDE CDROM 1” tab and change “Disk bus” to SATA
- Then click Apply, and then Begin installation in the top left.
After that the VM installed successfully.
