Hello again. Thank so much for all your different contributions.
Yaifo seems promising since it can apparently address all the situations in which you have access to a preinstalled dedicated server that you want to "convert" to OpenBSD. Have any of you encountered situations in which the Yaifo approach didn't work out of the box? Are there particular points (outsite of the support documentation) to be careful about when trying this? Would you have some practical recommendations as to how to use Yaifo on a real life server to minimize failure probability (if any.?)

It builds an install image like the one on the OpenBSD CD, except that it has an sshd and your public key. Then you just put it on the boot drive using `dd` from a rescue system. -- Thomas de Grivel http://b.lowh.net/billitch "I must plunge into the water of doubt again and again."
