BSD Today: An experience installing OpenBSD

[ Thanks to Jeremy Reed for this link. ]

"This article, well really more like a journal, explores my installation of OpenBSD. I had a few problems and made a few errors, but I also found some solutions and had some work arounds...."

"The OpenBSD website had two documents about installation. I first documentation I read was INSTALL.i386 "Installation Notes" (which is avaliable from the ftp site). (It also discusses upgrading previous OpenBSD installations.)"

"The second documentation I read was install-i386.html. This webpage has more "step-by-step" information about preparing the boot floppy, booting steps, configuring mount points and configuring networking. This webpage also shows the dialog you'll see during the installation process."
