I still resort to, and use virtually trouble-free, floppy-booting for 
installation of OpenBSD. 'boot floppy' then install over the network 
from an OpenBSD server or a local box with the CD mounted or copied and 
an ftp server. Works well.

I seem to recall that I had to write the floppy on a big-endian box 
though. Might have been a bad floppy on the available Intel box; I don't 
remember for sure.
