Yes, something is definitely wrong with the media.  When you do a "map
-r" you should see something like this:\

Shell> map -r
Device mapping table
  fs0  : Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM(Entry0)
  fs1  : Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD
(Part1,SigC8008731-FDA2-11DD-88B0-AA000400FEFF)
  blk0 : Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)
  blk1 : Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM(Entry0)
  blk2 : Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)
  blk3 : Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD
(Part1,SigC8008731-FDA2-11DD-88B0-AA000400FEFF)

You should have at least one fsx: device show up.  I have two because
I have a bootable filesystem on a hard drive (fs1).  The other is the
OpenVMS Operating Environments DVD.

Are you sure you put the Operating Environment DVD in the drive?  If
you have the Layered Products DVD and had put that one in instead then
you won't get the fsx device as it doesn't have the proper filesystem
on it.

What part number does your Operating Environment DVD have?  For
V8.3-1H1 it should be  5013-6895 and dated Nov 2007
