<snip> Soekris are small x86 machines. There is no reason it shouldn't work, openbsd doesn't need graphics or sounds. If you look on the soekris site, they list openbsd as one of the OSes that their hardware is designed for. You'll need a null modem cable, tip (or minicom, hyperterminal, whatever your flavor is), bootp, etc. But I can confirm it works fine, I have a couple of them.
