I am a new to OpenBSD.  (I have installed OpenBSD 5.2 once on an old
computer with xdm and xfce enabled.)  I would like to install OpenBSD on a
laptop that already has an active partition setup by Windows 7 and a
partition containing Windows 7.  I have successfully upgraded the hard
drive, so approximately 500GB are available at the end of the drive.

1. I have read the installation and dual booting sections of the FAQ.  I am
unsure about installing OpenBSD without altering the existing MBR.  Is it
simply a matter of not marking the new partitions as active?

2. easybcd forum suggests that easybcd can find OpenBSD if OpenBSD's
bootloader is installed on the partition MBR.  Does anyone have any advice
on whether easybcd should be used?  If so, how would I install the
bootloader to the partition MBR?

Thanks,

Andrew Gould
