If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB, you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included INSTALL.amd64 document. +
If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read INSTALL.amd64. !
Write miniroot63.fs to a disk and boot from it after connecting to the serial console. Refer to INSTALL.arm64 for more details. !
