One can have the notes present in machine-readable form.  Handy?  No.  

The ramdisk kernel operates in single-user mode, so there is no alternate
console available.  But, one can escape to a subshell.  From there, one could
mount a foreign file system containing the document, and view it with less(1)
or more(1).  

One could also acquire it via ftp(1) over the network, but there is likely
insufficient freespace to save it in the RAM filesystem.  One could obviously
create a spare FFS filesystem to store the file, but then, if one could do
that, one would be familiar enough with OpenBSD to not need the installation
documentation anyway.
