You could have a look at http://nbender.com/install.netboot/install.html which is no longer current and was brittle and difficult to use. I am currently working on the next version which is much better - it meets all your requirements. I'm calling it redux and I'm including the readme below. What's left to do is additional testing, documentation, and updating for any changes in 4.8 (it is working now against 4.7). -N ======================================================== Welcome to redux, an OpenBSD automated installation framework. redux enhances the standard OpenBSD installation procedure by enabling the following functionality: 1. Record all choices made during an installation. 2. Enable an automated installation using recorded choices. 3. Allow interactive revision of a previously recorded installation session. 4. Provide support for network based fully automated installation using only tools provided by OpenBSD. redux is ditributed as a Makefile, a set of patches to the standard installation scripts and a small number of additional installation scripts. Building the entire source tree is not required as redux uses an existing ditribution as the starting point. By default it assumes that the OpenBSD source tree is loaded in /usr/src and that the installation CD is mounted on /mnt (see the top of the makefile to adjust these locations). The output of the make process is a modified installation ramdisk which can be booted using pxeboot. The ramdisk could also be used to construct a boot CD which will be supported in a future release. An effort has been made to minimize the changes to the default scripts to minimize ongoing maintenance as the base system evolves. A patch to the standard pxeboot program is also provided which enables additional network boot functionality for the i386 and amd64 architectures. redux has been tested on the i386 and amd64 architectures but should be usable on other architectures.
