It runs FreeBSD, which only support i386 platforms last I checked, so I
would assume OpenBSD would work on it.  Looking at the docs
(http://www.openbrick.org/Members/jp/manual.pdf), it's using a i386
compatible National Semiconductor GX1-300B 300Mhz processor, and checking
OpenBSD.org's i386 platform page, the "NS Geode GX1" processor is listed
as supported.  The RealTek 8139C ethernet adapter should be supported with
the rl driver.  The AC97 audio controller is supported via the auich
driver.  The PCMCIA interface is supported, as is the compact flash
interface.  Looks to me like it should work on paper.  The only way to
know for sure is to try it.
