Hello, 

I have an external USB 2.0 HDD on which I have successfully installed
OpenBSD/i386 3.7.

Is it possible to install both OpenBSD/i386 and OpenBSD/macppc on one
such drive in such a way that it will be possible to connect the HDD
to either i386 or PowerPC G4 computer and boot it either way? :-)

It does not have to be a universally bootable HDD: I would just like
it to boot on several i386 machines that I have and on iBook G4 and/or
Mac mini.

Of the installed components, I'd like to share the configuration of
httpd, sendmail, spamd, pf etc between both architectures. I.e. the
HDD should boot to a completely usable server on both i386 or PowerPC
architectures.

Obviously, it's not just a matter of the boot manager, as all of the
applications must have a different binary for each architecture, so I
guess some file-systems (those that contain */bin, */lib etc) have to
be distinct, whilst others (such as /var, /usr/share etc) shall be
shared...

Any suggestions of how this should be done? ;)

Cheers,
Constantine.
