Some quick feedback...
You write (allow me to turn off caps):

Why?

Writing down passwords, are you serious?

Try CTRL+ALT+F2/F3...  it's in the FAQ.

Also, I don't see the need for a ports tree on this type of system,
and your installation of the "screen" application looks horrible.

Wouldn't it be better to skip the installation part, and point people to
the OpenBSD FAQ (especially faq4.html), and to the afterboot(8) manual page?

When you copy over pf.conf, do you set its owner/permissions correctly?
Anyway, /etc/security will let you know if you didn't. :)
