Either:
The easiest way is to run the installer and do an installation to the
flash drive (you can skip most of the sets), then at the shell when it's
finished you can 'echo boot hd0a:/bsd > /mnt/etc/boot.conf'.
Or:
Take a flash drive on which you've dd'd installXX.fs to a system running
OpenBSD and mount it ("mount /dev/sdXa /mnt"), then do the "echo" as
above, then "umount /mnt".
