Just notes for myself to follow on subsequent OpenBSD 4.1 installs.
- Download and burn cd41.iso
- Insert CD and boot to CD on machine that is going to be setup.
- After disk detection, when prompted for Install/Upgrade/Shell, enter "i" for install.
- Press enter for [vt220] console.
- kdb(8) mapping?: "us"
- Proceed with install: "yes"
- Available disks are: wd0.
Which one is the root disk? (done 'done'): [wd0] - Do you want to use *all* of wd0 for OpenBSD? [no] "no"
(As I am goin going to have this machine tri-boot Windows XP, Debian, and OpenBSD) - As I have:

Now, the "OpenBSD" seen above was created just as a partition label when using "fdisk" from Linux. Thus, we're still going to fully work on that partition here to make sure it's done right. -
