I hardly notice the difference when installing OpenBSD over serial (vs
over glass console). It's the same amazing graceful text-only
interface that asks me some basic questions and installs fine.
Indeed, the only 'hard' part is when it comes to partitioning,
especially when multibooting. But once you've done this a couple of
times and you know how it works, you'll learn to dislike all the other
installers for being way to complicated.
Thanks guys !
