No.  Use an old laptop with a hard drive, and two PCMCIA net cards.
Take one floppy.  Put the OpenBSD install image on it.
Install OpenBSD via FTP and configure pf.

The package management system is similar to apt-get -- you can install 
an app and all dependencies with one command.

It is absolutely breathtaking as a router.  Utterly secure and never 
needs looking at.
