This isn't meant as criticism, only wondering whether this could be something I could use for my main system unless/until some wonderful soul adds kernel nvidia/nouveau drm support to OpenBSD. Probably not, eh?
I had installed 3.3 on VirtualBox 4.14 on my Linux host. So far, I had no luck getting networking up. Tried all the different appraoches mentioned in the wiki and sparse information found so far on web, no luck. Even on the #minix IRC channel nobody had any idea last I asked about it yesterday. I'm off to download 3.2.1 and see if the issue exists with that one too.
xorg is not by default installed I see.

Regards.
