from USB.

procedure from an older OpenBSD operating

What would you do if you had to reload Windows 2000? I've never seen a
PC that could only boot from the hard drive.

Basically, your problem is that you need a smarter bootloader.

That idea isn't quite as crazy as it sounds.
A little while back I encountered some weirdness with machines I was
testing that came without floppies but the manufacturer for reasons
which never became quite clear decide

As Craig pointed out, if the machine has a USB port it's likely it can
boot from USB floppy.

How about an external CDROM drive connected to a parallel port? Micro
Solutions used to make one (called BackPack) that could connect via
USB, PCCard, and Parallel Port. Once you loaded the drivers under
Windows I'm pretty sure you could boot from it.

That's the best answer so far But, personally, I believe it can be done
without programming and hacking OpenBSD installation program to work
in the same way as Ubuntu install.exe
Here's how I thing it _might_ work. The point is to use a bootable linux
partition to bridge from !OpenBSD to OpenB

Once upon a time there was a program called "loadlin"...
I've used it a couple times. It was quite annoying when, by mistake, double
clicked somewhere and, without further warning, a Linux distro was booting
right in front of me.

Cool. Didn't noticed a version of grub that runs on windows.

Can grub actually boot a bsd kernel. I thought it was in a
different binary format than Linux kernels.
Does grub pass kernel arguments to the bsd kernel in the
right way.
Sorry about the doubts, but I have always chain loaded
OpenBSD from grub through the PBR code in biosboot
installed by install
According to grub documentation

it's probably trying to boot is as a.out; no guarantees
