No, it's easy to install. The instructions are on the inside of every 
CD that you buy from the Open BSD people.  Easier than Debian.  But, 
if want to understand how to configure it and use it then you might 
as well saw your own foot off.  After my first install I did a Debian 
install and still couldn't understand what the hell Debian was about 
even after installing Open BSD.  I had to read a BSD book and all the 
BSD sites to get to the point where I could get Open BSD to work with 
ISDN and then come the day of installation of the ISDN drivers I 
found out that I was being told that it they just don't work.

This is in contrast with Net BSD and Free BSD which are quite a good 
bit friendlier.

Thanks
