So is this also the reason why I cannot boot OpenBSD from a USB memory
stick? Because BIOS and OpenBSD use different geometries? Can I somehow
force OpenBSD to use the BIOS geometry on the USB disk? How?

I think you got that part just right :-)
Expecthing cyl * head * sec/cyl to come up with the number of actual
sectors on the disk is your problem.

What is the point in trying to align to such boundaries, when the
physical HDD does not have 255 or 64 heads

So OpenBSD uses 64*32, divides the number of sectors (which all
devices do provide) by this value to give a cylinder count, and
truncates the fractional cylinder. So up to 64*31 = 1984 sectors
will be 'wasted'.

OpenBSD aligns to boundaries. It just makes up the boundaries, as do
other OS's. It's unfortunate that all OS's don't make up the same
boundaries but until you can convince all OS developers to use the
same fake

the cylinders, heads, sectors and the number of total sectors do not match.
what does this mean?
It means translation is stupid, but we keep doing it. :)
ok, now just to make things more interesting, i have found a disk

a bit preoccupied with dicks and measurements, aren't we?
perhaps if you associate disk geometries with dicks, maybe
you also talk of nipples instead of keys on your keyboard, etc.
