OpenBSD / Installing Openbsd

I used the INSTALL.zaurus. I think alot of users are initially turned off to it due to its enormous size . The link I posted above is just over a page long and shows how to install OpenBSD on the Z. Alot of the material in the INSTALL.zaurus is a copy and paste from other architecture's INSTALL.* adding some illusionary bulk (good info none the less) Someone could easily write a a mini-INSTALL.zaurus in a page or two.

OpenBSD installation assumes that the reader has thourouly done their
homework *before* installing it. Meaning the audience has already read
and reread the installation documentation, browsed through the openbsd
faq[] for general queries, read though the archives other user
experiences and notes.
OpenBSD was never designed for the majority of linux users and PDA
market in general. It is mainly a product of geeks that enjoy creating
secure code and systems. Hence its appeal usually is strong on the
systems and network administrator types as well as the developer people.
It is *not* aimed at mass market. (This is harsh to a geek exposed
mainly to linux environment but that is reality, browse a few months
worth of the openbsd-misc mailing list).
