The same issue occurred using a separate usb with a toshiba C55D and with a
cd on a home built tower. At this point I'm just so confused at why it's
fine installing to a usb but not a clean disk on not one but four different
disk/computer configurations with varying Openbsd versions and install

Thank you so much!
So I dd'd using the raw devices for both the usb and the mac mini. It
worked which is sweet, unfortunately due to the usb being only 4gb it
didn't partition it in the normal Openbsd way, only / /home and /usr, but I

Now can you try to dd your USB stick from a Linux Live CD onto your
local drive and then try to boot. My guess is that there is some
UEFI/openBSD incompatibility.

Hey Strahil,

I've used Openbsd before but my installs have gone smoothly with no issues
