Thanks, but neither this nor the autoinstall suggestion seem applicable for my use case.
I am dealing with virtualized servers which usually start out as Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora images, then the hosting provider supplies the IP address and root password for a first-time SSH login. In many cases it is not possible to upload an ISO to be used as server installation media, and VNC consoles (if available) are often not even encrypted. (How would you feel about installing OpenBSD and then having your root password sent in plaintext at the very beginning?)
I realize installing OpenBSD under these constraints is rather like installing a ship in a bottle, but it seemed worth it to ask...
