For a solution with changed makefiles check out strippedOpenBSD,
http://www.wiretapped.net/security/operating-systems/strippedOpenBSD/
This is intentionally meant as a specialized version for people as paranoid
as me installing servers, not a general purpose OS. And take care, the
installer doesn't ask stupid questions like "should I take the whole disk" -
who want's anything besides OpenBSD on the same server?
