OpenBSD on VPS
* Install VPS with Debian/Archinux/whatever you're comfortable with
* Get the bsd.rd file and put it in / for instance
wget ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.8/amd64/bsd.rd
* Add something along these lines in your grub.cfg (or /etc/grub.d/40_custom)
Make sure you adapt the (hd0,1) line to your config
menuentry "OpenBSD installer" {
set root=(hd0,1)
kopenbsd /bsd.rd
}
* Update the main grub.cfg:
update-grub on Debian
grub-mkconfig... on Arch
* Reboot the node, and choose "OpenBSD installer" in the grub menu.
