Hello Kamil,

  Your reply is unreasonably aggressive. Is there something wrong with the
OpenBSD in that particular area?
  I use to install the OBSD to an unused partition - pretty strait forward
process. Did something change recently? I've checked the FAQ - didn't find
big changes nor warnings (except the "know what you are doing").

  BTW, I use to run OBSD in VMWare for testing and bug finding - the work
was done, but didn't like the experience (a lot).
