The problem is that you've created a filesystem for /var/tmp/.  OpenBSD 
installation now expects to make /var/tmp a symlink to ../tmp (aka /tmp) 
and does not support mounting a separate filesystem there.  The space that 
you used to allocate to /var/tmp should just be combined into your /tmp.

This has been the behavior since November 2014 and the OpenBSD 5.7 
release.
