Now, I have the FreeBSD installation cd for the Alpha, and I was wondering if there was a way I can switch from Free to OpenBSD. i.e., i don't want to format my hard disk and then re-install FreeBSD. Is there a way I can just copy some stuff from my FreeBSD cdrom to my existing OpenBSD box and completely do away with OpenBSD? I can keep the same disk partitioning and labels, so that's not a big deal. Any help would be appreciated, and I am pretty much a newbie, so you may have to spell out what I need to do.
