Interesting job you have there! >From the installer, basically see the floppy disk section of http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/www/faq/faq4.html?rev=1.421&content-type=text/html#getdmesg but you can use a USB stick with the relevant device (/dev/sd0i, /dev/sd1i, etc). A dmesg from a booted system is more useful though. You can just install to a USB stick as if it was a hard drive and most BIOSes will be able to just boot from that. > They're not cheap and the hardware is just kinda meh.
