I was using (suprise) OpenBSD-based PXE server to install OpenBSD on 
vm/baremetal using autoinstall(8) feature.

There are a few arts describing the process, e.g. 
https://www.bsdnow.tv/tutorials/autoinstall

I also save some snippets in gist here:

Temat: Automated remote install

Has anyone successfully automated (i.e with Ansible/etc) the process of
installing OpenBSD on a remote server?

The most recent attempts at remote installation (manual or automated) that I
was able to find, are fairly old:
https://jcs.org/notaweblog/2014/09/12/remotely_installing_openbsd_qemu
https://github.com/jedisct1/yaifo
https://www.dim13.org/Install-OpenBSD-on-remote-host-without-KVM
http://frankgroeneveld.nl/2014/04/13/remote-installation-of-openbsd-from-linux/

jcs indicates that his QEMU-based method demands knowing what kind of network
card is in the server. This seems hard to automate.
