While there are advantages of read-only / security isnt one of them. If you still want to do this be aware that you need to do some minor modifications to /etc/rc to get it to work and you'll also need to use a separate partition (preferably mfs) for /dev, with all the implications that has (need to create devices on boot, etc). To sum it up, while read-only / is possible it's no walk in the park and you should take the time to understand the OpenBSD startup process before attempting it. --- Lars Hansson
