+### Installing OpenBSD on Dedibox SC 2016
+
+This is a quick install guide for those of you who want to run OpenBSD on the
+new server boxes from online.net.  I did this on a Dedibox SC SSD 2016.  First
+of all you need to install one of the provided OSes in order to access the
+rescue mode and serial console KVM on the server status page.  Next, boot into
+(Ubuntu) rescue mode, login, and write the OpenBSD install media on disk:
+
+    $ curl -O 'http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.8/amd64/miniroot58.fs'
+    $ sudo dd if=miniroot58.fs of=/dev/sda
+
+Now reboot back into normal mode and access the serial console from your
+browser.  If you were not fast enough to see the bootloader prompt, just force
+a reboot from the interface.  Note that at the time of writing there is a
+glitch on the serial console interface and I see the key `n` being pressed
+every few seconds.  Once you get ahold of the bootloader:
+
+    boot> set tty com1
+    boot> boot
+
+When you reach the installer prompt, escape to shell.  We need to erase the MBR
+because the miniroot image contains a wrong disklabel for our disk.  Then exit
+the shell and go for the install option.
+
+    (I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell? s
+    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0c bs=1m count=1
+    ^D
+    (I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell? i
+
+Now use the installer as usual.  I got the correct address through DHCP.  The
+installer will ask you if you want to use `com1` as the default console.  Say
+yes, with the default baud rate, so that you continue to see output in the
+KVM-over-IP console.  If you miss that...
+
+`/etc/boot.conf`:
+
+    set tty com1
+
+Cheers!
