As openbsd user on soekris systems base install works as you expect from
the openbsd developers, GREAT!

The soekris does network boot, pxe install is simple to setup. After the
pxe just load the bsd.rd file and the install env is running.

Running memory filesystems could be for things like /var/run /var/log
etc link /tmp to /var/tmp. But for the rest it is not really needed. I
think.
