Has anyone used OpenBSD on the new mac mini servers which don't have an
integrated optical drive? Is it possible to use apple's mac mini external
dvd/cd drive once OpenBSD has been installed (for instance, to do a cd boot
for a clean upgrade)?

Thanks. The virtual machine is a great idea. No substitute for actual
experience, though, which is why I asked if anyone had done it yet.
There are times when I really do want to just wipe a system, repurposing the
box to new set of configurations/applications and I've always found it

Watch out for using apple desktop boxes as servers: apple has always put
style in front of reliability and, especially for such big boxes when
run 24/7, airflow and heat can become serious issues when you least expect
it. Not exactly what I'd call a workhorse...

I wish I had the knowledge to do this. I think this would be a
valuable addition to the OpenBSD base system. Thanks to both
suggestions. I just copied pcitweak from 4.3 with the libraries
another option would be to take the pcitweak source code and create a
port/package out of that. Saves the hassle of writing the program.
