Has anyone ever installed OpenBSD for Macbook White (MB 5,2)?

I'm interested to resurrect this laptop since Apple no longer support (newer OSX can't be installed) the hardware.

I would love to see OpenBSD + Openbox + Crunchbang theme/window-decorator.

Yes, I successfully run it two older MacBooks for server use. I haven’t tried WiFi or sound but everything else, including trackpad and X, worked fine for me. There were other tweaks to make suitable for a server, but OpenBSD has otherwise resurrected the laptops. Bonus: this hardware predates Intel ME.

If it has a Broadcom wifi, then you're probably SOL on that front
