Please re-read FAQ5. You have two good options. > To update a -CURRENT, you just have to pick a bsd.rd on the openBSD sites > and boot on it and you're on the track ? Please re-read FAQ5. You have multiple options, but installing a snapshot is best, this can be done via bsd.rd or just unpacking the files (see FAQ4). > Does openBSD have a tools that search packages ?

Standard? thank goodness, no. OpenBSD can boot itself very nicely without third-party add-ons. However, if you wish to make a complicated multiboot system, go for it (it's your foot, your bullets) use whatever boot manager you can manage to get to work, virtually all of them will work with OpenBSD as a generic OS. For simple, single OS systems, they are all solutions looking for a problem. Nick.
