Absolutely, using the FTP install method.

Example: I currently have OpenBSD installed on an Gateway 2000 Original Solo laptop (circa
1998). The system is a P120 w/40MB of RAM, 1.2GB internal IDE HDD, 3com 3c589 PCMCIA NIC,
and an external 10GB IDE drive using a PCMCIA IDE controller. In the past, I've used it as
a firewall/router by installing 2 3c589's.
