I had no problems booting OpenBSD 3.7 release, and recent 3.8 snapshots on my X41, using an external Lite-On DVD+-RW drive. The UltraBase is somewhat nice, but way too expensive IMHO. :-) Since I now have given back the drive to the person I borrowed it from, I'm still searching for a nice alternative way to boot OpenBSD installation. Anyone have experience booting OpenBSD from a USB stick? My BIOS seems to support it, I'll go look into it tomorrow, or or this weekend, probably.
