I assume you're only encouraging this because it's likely impossible. 
Frankly, I find the FreeBSD installer somewhat confusing.  About the 
only thing that would maybe make the OpenBSD installer simpler for new 
(or impatient) users would be a "default" disk layout with sane 
partition sizes for /, /tmp, /var, /usr, etc.  Of course I rarely 
install OpenBSD on non-x86 boxes but I'm sure sane defaults for x86 are 
quite different than mac68k or hppa.

(In my defense, i do have a Sparc Classic and several mac68ks here. 
Great machines for SETI@home.)
