Re: MTU setting during installation
Normally if you're using DHCP you wouldn't need to do this by hand anyway,
but it looks like this isn't yet implemented in dhcpleased.

No, we don't believe that imposing that burden on every single person on
every install is a net benefit. Indeed, the project's experience is that
very few people need to explicitly configure an MTU.
So, for those that need it, well, to quote all of the INSTALL.

If any question has a default answer, it will be displayed in brackets
("[]") after the question. If you wish to stop the installation, you may
hit Control-C at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the
installation process again from scratch. Using Control-Z to suspend the
process may be a better option, or at any prompt enter "!" to get a shell,
from which "exit" will return you back to that prompt.

So, you can use '!' to get a shell where you enter the necessary ifconfig
command, and you can of course tweak the install before rebooting.

MTU setting during installation
Hi, when installing OpenBSD there is the chance to set a network interface, anyway, there is no chance to set the MTU on it. It would be good to add this setting in the installation process Regards Luca
