Installation is supported from several media types, including:
CD-ROM
FFS partitions
DOS (FAT) partitions (NOT supported if booting from floppy)
EXT2 partitions (NOT supported if booting from floppy)
Remote NFS partition (NOT supported if booting from floppy)
HTTP
If you can't (or don't want to) boot off a CD-ROM, you can use a floppy
disk (1.44MB required) or a USB key. Failing that, if your computer supports
PXE, you can prepare a server to start the install across the network, but you
will still need the install sets available on one of the above media types.

Creating a PXE network bootable setup using OpenBSD or other Unix-like system:
In order to start the install via PXE, you will need to set up a
DHCP server and a TFTP server. The details of how to do this
vary considerably, depending on the network's host. You should
refer to the relevant man pages or administrator's guide for the
host system.
The DHCP server should return "pxeboot" to MACHINE clients as the
network boot program. Both pxeboot and the bsd.rd install kernel
should be copied to the TFTP server's root directory.
If you are using an OpenBSD server, you can use the supplied
dhcpd and tftpd. A sample configuration for dhcpd is given in
the pxeboot(8) man page. You can get it from the man{:--:}OSrev.tgz
distribution set, or see the copy on the OpenBSD web page. You
should also refer to dhcpd(8) and tftpd(8) for more information
on configuring them.
