Full disk encryption with OpenBSD: a howto

[Recursion]

This is aimed at people who already know how to do a standard OpenBSD install. With 5.3, OpenBSD supports booting directly from an encrypted volume, which is awesome. Only the bootloader in the MBR is unencrypted.

1. Excellent.

2. Also, xombrero plus mplayer supports youtube now

That was my last excuse. I'm loving it so far, and I haven't seen a performance hit. Even my webcam works.

3. Just bought a 300gb WD Raptor. Guess what's getting installed.

4. SATA?

If it's IDE, note my caution re: drive names. But you probably know that.

8. Is there a live cd version that I could download and try?

I'm using ubuntu 10.04 right now and its getting long of tooth and I'd like to try something else. I don't like Unity so the newer versions of ubuntu is out of the question.
anyways thanks in advance to anyone who has a link to a live cd version of BSD5.3
I just downloaded the install version.
