I
wrote a "howto" in 2011. I didn't self-publish. Instead, I submitted it to the
OpenBSD Journal, where a team of developer/edito
rs worked to improve its clarity, and they helped me to make it more general and less specific.
The editorial review and approval process took several weeks. But it really helped.

It's been less than two years since publication, but that "howto" is already out of of date. Changes to the second-stage bootloader used in i386 and amd64 have made the process even easier, and a simplified procedure is now a part of FAQ 14.21.
