Is the clock on this system correct? OpenBSD 6.1+'s installer uses https (at least for architectures which can fit it on the install media) but doesn't handle the case where you have an incorrect clock very well (normally the installer tries to fetch the mirror list over https, which fails due to invalid OCSP pinning if the clock is more than a couple of days out, so you have to type the mirror's address manually from the list on ftp.html and have to use HTTP rather than HTTPS to fetch the sets).

There was an installer bug in 6.1 resulting in the wrong path getting written to installurl if you entered the mirror URL manually (this has since been fixed). What you did (i.e. editing the file to remove 6.1) is the the correct workaround.
