Okay, I know someone here is trying this... success or failure?

I used these instructions a few weeks ago and they worked. You will need to download miniroot58.fs (not miniroot57.fs).

True indeed, the article was written a week before the release of 5.8...

Huh, 5.8 hasn't been released? What you mean is that snapshots / current are now using that version number.

I got it installed, but there were problems. A lot of programs fail with SIGILL, illegal instruction. OpenSSL fails in OPENSSL_ia32_cpuid() Anybody get past this ?

I also get coredumps from openssl, ssh-keygen, and smtpctl on the first boot. The common factor for all of these is the XGETBV instruction - unfortunately it looks like DigitalOcean's setup of KVM doesn't support it.

This was just on amd64 though - installing OpenBSD for i386 seems to work okay, apart from sometimes hanging on boot (not sure why this is).
