If you're installing OpenBSD/arc for the first time it's a very good idea
to look at the partition sizes of disk you intend installing OpenBSD on.
-Changing the size of partitions after you've installed is difficult.

OpenBSD again from scratch.
Asumming a classic partition scheme with root (`/') and /usr filesystems,
-a comfortable size for the OpenBSD root filesystem partition is about 32M.
-Hovever it has shown that 64M is not a bad choise when more packages are
-to be installed. A good initial size for the swap partition is twice the
-amount of physical memory in your machine or at least 64M. A minimum /usr
-partition is ~150M but with that you will run into trouble later. A minimum
-size of 350M is recommended. A full binary installation, without X11 or
-other additional software, takes about 130MB in `/usr'.
