Big hint: read the OpenBSD faq from the website (grab it with wget:
wget -c -k -r -p -np -I /faq -X /faq/de,/faq/pf/de,/faq/fr,/faq/pf/fr,/faq/nl,/faq/pf/nl,/faq/pl,/faq/pf/pl,/faq/pt,/faq/pf/pt http://www.openbsd.org/faq/index.html
This limits the recursion to stick to the faq on the website.
Its available as pdf but its not kept as up-to-date.
Of course, the best way to install OpenBSD is to spend the $50 and by a
CD set. You should still read the faq.
The installer acts as a weed-eater: it weeds out users who don't read
the docs. If you don't read, the partioner will kill you. Everything
in the install is text based and quasi command-line. Its small and very
fast once you understand it (full install in about 3 minutes except for
disk I/O time).
If you really like OpenBSD, get the one book on it: Absolute OpenBSD by
Nostarch press.
