Thank you for your help and sorry for not responding so long (I don't blame him for not being in mood so long to try to install OpenBSD again). Also sorry for the lack of logs because he couldn't think about logs before failure actually happened. However, he didn't use your help, instead he managed to multiboot with GRUB recently, I'll ask him to give you logs on this after he finishes his job.
