That's for flashboot not for OpenBSD (flashboot is an OpenBSD derivative
but I wouldn't exactly call it OpenBSD...)

Only reason I'd consider doing this on OpenBSD is if I was really stuck
with a system running software that uses *slightly* more RAM than I have
available and I needed to stretch things short-term until the hardware
could be replaced with something suitable for the task... For everything
else I think the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

Or mount /usr/src over NFS.
