I've taken my software vows - for beta or for worse
ok, you've convinced me, I'll give it a try on a usb thumb for a start.

It's the easiest "bootable OS on a USB stick" install you'll ever do. Just
install like you normally would except rather than using the internal hard drive, select
the USB drive.

In fact I already have a "rescue openbsd" on a 1 gig partition on my usb
thumb, just in case hard disk should not boot, so I'll put a 'snapshot'
in instead and try using it for a while. If 'iwn' hangs it does it every
few minutes, so I can check it quickly.
