The Jggimi howto is fantastic. I agree with Jggimi about boot loader. I also prefer GAG over Windows boot loader. I have only one multiboot machine. The story of that machine goes something like this. I got a laptop from my University as my official personal computer. The laptop was pre-installed with Windows XP professional.
I took GParted and moved the Windows XP about 7 GB forward towards extended partition. I installed the GAG and added Windows XP to its menu. Then I did installation along Jggimi description on the first 7GB of the hard drive. I added the OpenBSD to GAG menu and I have now dual boot laptop.
It is interesting to see that my default OpenBSD desktop installation including all of multimedia, TeXLive and a full web-browser is less than 2GB. On the another hand my
minimal Windows XP installation is 19GB.
