I made this guide and posted it on the LowEndSpirit.com VPS/Hosting community forum, a guide to installing OpenBSD on any VPS with a console and ipxe support (pretty much any KVM based host should support this now) even if they dont have any BSD templates, no dhcp required, static config method included and ipxe shell commands to get started.

I did this in a tint 128mb ram vps with 1 vcpu and 1GB disk, hopefully it gets people thinking about doing and achieving more with less, the LowEndSpirit philosophy!
