A standard OpenBSD installation is somewhat susceptible to power failures though. Especially fail/back/fail again during the startup procedure while it's relinking libraries in random order. Not saying it can't be used but some thought is needed if you know that it's *likely* to be powered off without shutdown, or if the power is flaky.
