OpenBSD/MACHINE OSREV runs on the following Data General AViiON systems:
- AV100/200/300/400, AV3000/4000 and AV4300 series
necessary to install and boot multi-user, and 16MB of RAM are recommended
as a minimum for the system not to be swap-bound, with 32MB or more being
recommended for serious usage of the system. A minimal system can probably
-be squeezed onto a 250MB disk by installing only the `base' and `etc' sets
-and using a small swap partition.

There are several ways to install OpenBSD onto a disk. The normal way
Alternatively you can build a bootable partition from the distribution sets
as follows:
-Unpack `base{:--:}OSrev.tgz' and `etc{:--:}OSrev.tgz' on the server in the root directory
-for your target machine. If you elect to use a separately NFS-mounted
-filesystem for `/usr' with your diskless setup, make sure the "./usr" base
