I think I understand. If I wanted to run daemontools at boot, I would
put the svscanboot command in /etc/rc.local, rig
to start it. This
drains whatever capacitive storage it might have. Leave it alone for
an hour then plug it together and try it.

Having the ports.tar.gz that corresponds to the snapshot you install is
nice because 2 months down the road you can compile/install something
that will work on your system even when there is no package available
that will work on your system.
If you try to cvs up your ports to -current 2 months after installing a
snapshot, odds are that something won't compile. OpenBSD works FANTASTIC
as long as you keep things consistent. Follow base, -current, or
snapshots. Don't try to mix and match and you should have smooth sailing.
That's just been my personal experience. Other people way more
