I run openBSD 4.6 on intel mac minis as production web and email
servers. Works great. Nothing special about the install unless you
want to keep a mac partion. Put in the i386 disk, reboot. May have
hold down "c", I forget. I think there are two partion options and I
fond I works best without the HFS.

Hello,
First - please excuse my lack of knowledge if it is completely
obvious.
I have the old Intel Mac Mini currently running Mac OS X Leopard with
Bootcamp. The whole disk is currently dedicated to Leopard and no
other operating systems exist.
I would like to use my Mac Mini as a small home server for various
activities and would like it to run OpenBSD 4.6. However, I have
google'd and searched the archives and not found much information for
me to be confident enough to install OpenBSD 4.6. Obviously it's clear
that OpenBSD does run fine on the Intel Mac Mini but I'm just looking
for some assistance on the procedure. I have purchased a OpenBSD 4.6
CD set and have successfully installed it on my i386 laptop and it's
running smoothly.
So my questions...
Does any clear step by step documentation exist for installing OpenBSD
on a Mac Mini? Is it a similar process as installing Windows (via
Bootcamp) or is there another way to just dedicated the whole machine
to OpenBSD?
Any advice or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
John
