It may be possible to do something similar with the mini?
Maybe, yes. Interesting! :-) At least Macs can do a netboot. Though
you'd probably need an EFI guru to make that work... Bsically there
might even be a more easy way to upgrade the firmware: If the firmware
of a Mac is broken (e.g. due to power failture while upgrading), you
can use a firmware restoration CD to repair it:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/firmwarerestorationcd12.html
If I understand that right, the CD contains a few floppy disk images,
each for a different Mac. If the Mac's firmware is broken (and only
then), you can make it boot from such a CD and the restore process
will start and run automatically just from the CD. Unforunately the CD
doesn't contain the latest Mac mini firmware version, so you'd again
need a guru to put the latest firmware into such a floppy disk image,
and you would have to destroy the firmware somehow to make the mini
boot from the restoration CD...
Sorry for being off-topic, all this has not much to do with OpenBSD. ;-)
Tas.
