As mentioned in section 4.3 of the OpenBSD FAQ, you would want the install56.fs file if you want to write it to a USB drive. To write it to a USB drive in Windows you would need a program like dd to do it. There is a Windows dd program here: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd I have never used it before. Based on a quick scan of that web page I would say you should be very careful what arguments you pass to that dd program at chrysocome.net since it looks like it would be easy to wipe out the hard drive of the Windows machine you are using to prepare the USB drive. There might or might not be a better alternative to the dd program at chrysocome.net out there on the internet. -- John Merriam
