Hi,
It depends if you want to keep the existing psfsens install or if you
want dual boot.

If looking to install beside pfsens, I would beleive that installing
OpenBSD along any existing OS should be no different than installing
linux or windows along another OS, as you would need to prepare the block
device (SDD) by making space if possible (and if you dont have any) for
another partition in which you would install OpenBSD. so any
documentation (explaining how to shrink existing partitions, create
another partion, handle dual boot) that is not necessarily specific to
OpenBSD should help.Im not very familiar with how pfsens work and if it
did install a bootloader, if not you might need to install one like GRUB
and configure it to be able to select between the two OS at startup.
Overall installing dual boot is very tricky and you should be carefull to
not wipe your existing data, a backup is advised

  Hi all,

  I'm going to install openBSD on a small PC that currently has PfSense
  on
  it. This PC boots this OS via (U)EFI, and therefore has an EFI
  partition
  on the existing SSD. The current partition table looks like, as shown
  by
  openBSD fdisk:

   0: efiboot0
   1: gptboot0
   2: swap0
   3: zfs0.

  Should I keep the (U)EFI partition? And if so, how do I mount the
  future
  openBSD root partition to this (U)EFI installation? Are there any
  other
  things I should watch out for? I look forward to receiving responses
  from this community. Sincerely, Karel.
