Sorry, but it's an imperfect world and I'm sure everyone appreciates your efforts. Personally I'd much prefer using a boot disk (OpenBSD or not) or even a special kernel to do this and only this. I am disgusted with the live updates of bios and video bios on windows. I'm sure that developer is perfectly capable of checksumming his bios and updating. Many may not realise the risks, which are often there during every boot and may not check their bioses or wish to do so so often. The ones who do, may take precautions and still wish to do less checks. I'd prefer to know my bsd.rd environment cannot do this when I run something from userland and the security of OpenBSD improved to the highest level, when/if X solves the remaining issues.
