I have seen plenty of QA about multibooting OpenBSD and
Windows/Linux/whatever and although I did a lot of that stuff way back,
I generally don't need it in the days of almost zero cost PC that are
plenty good enough to run OpenBSD.
So why this question? Well I was blessed by a client who had

One of the sports in answering a question is to figure out what the asker's
true motives are, and what the likely results are going to be if things go
