This is a good resource -- especially if you take the time to study the appropriate manpages to understand what is going on.

...but, the resize, I'm kinda clueless on... lol
  • Go to the Windows 7 Start menu.
  • Right-click on Computer. Select Manage.
  • On the Computer Management window which is then displayed, left click Disk Management.
  • Right-click any logical drive on the installed disk. On the local menu displayed, you will see an option for shrinking the volume. This will non-destructively resize the partition.
There may be a quicker incantation to get to the same end-point, but I don't use Windows much anymore to know all the back roads.

Instructions for multibooting OpenBSD using Windows' (Vista & Win7) boot manager is in the Guides section:

This has long since been integrated into Section 4.9 of the FAQ as of OpenBSD 4.7. The verbose "Guide" article was written to show the process of discovery. The abbreviated FAQ section is merely to summarize.
