right.
Little trick in life: use phrases like "I didn't see an explaination of
..." instead of "it didn't explain ..."
The first is probably 100% correct and can never be proven wrong. The
second can easily be proven wrong. :)
Ok. Now, start at the VERY VERY top of
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html
That "glossy" section (I'm going to take that as a complement. You,
sir, are quite glossy yourself, today! :) is jam packed full of info,
most of it quite important. Not all of it is relevant to all platforms
(and sparc / sparc64 are two of the oddballs in that regard), but there
are pretty good clues in there about which are which, and an
acknowledgement that this IS confusing...
Now... do the same with the installation instructions in faq4.html. I
know, the first sections of most documentation can be skipped over, but
I try to leave that stuff out all together.
The first section of faq9.html is also highly recommended for those
coming from other systems. The rest is Linux based and not of much
interest to you.
First section of faq5.html is also very important to understand, and it
sounds like you need to read through faq15.html as well.
