-I've discovered that the power button is really a standby button, like on Palms. However, I did `shutdown -h now` from the shell and afterwards it wouldn't turn back on. In order to make it come back I had to take off the battery cover, press the reset button, take out the battery, and put everything back. Is it like this under OpenBSD too? Is taking out the battery really a necessary step (it wouldn't turn on until after I did that, but perhaps it was actually just that the battery lock switch was 'open' that it was rejecting)?

-I don't have a CF Wifi card yet, so I'll be installing from the harddrive. However, I want to blow away the partition table and set it up nicely. I'm not sure if this is logistically possible. What have other people done? I thought, perhaps I could put the install sets on an SD card but does the ramdisk kernel have support for that compiled in?
you can install from an ms-dos formatted CF card. read the INSTALL.zaurus file. carefully. several times. carefully. several times. think long and hard before you trash the partition table. hint: you don't want to use the whole disk for openbsd.
-How do you people with zaurii trade data from them with other computers? Purely over the network? With SD cards? USB hubs + thumbdrives?
ethernet or wi-fi. CF cards. usb sticks. you could probably use the usb-client ethernet emulation (man cdce cdcef) sd cards are close, but not quite there yet CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
