Unfortunately, that can't be said for installation and first time
configuration of OpenBSD (the man AfterBoot process). Only after
SSH is enabled can I do anything with the machine. It certainly
would be a lot better if OpenBSD supported a general CLI screen
reader right from boot up. I do know that enough of the hardware
gets detected to at least support this. Unfortunately, I am not
a coder, so I can't really try this without some help. Running a
compiler script (configure, make and make install) are easy
enough from a CLI SSH session, but unless I can run a package
immediately after the OS has completely booted and given me a
login prompt, I am literally operating in the blind zone.
Letting the installer redirect the console to com0 does not cut it? What
hardware are we talking about?

This is what I mean by sighted assistance. So right now, if I
can't do it myself, whats the point?
