For OpenBSD installation, I choose custom disk in partition. And I set the

but at least it warning me that boot install failed, the system will not
boot.
And set none mountpoint is also be errors.
Last I Automated partition first and delete all partition except i that is
MSDOS partition. Then everything is fine.
So how to customize disk partition in UEFI except Auto creates EFI
partition?

I think you are confusing the fdisk and disklabel parts of the install,
and you aren't providing enough details about what you are trying to do.
During the fdisk stage, you don't worry about root and swap. During
the disklabel stage, you don't worry about the efi stuff.
So ... let's assume you are doing an OpenBSD-only UEFI install.
In the installer, pick "Whole Disk GPT" or something similar to set up
the UEFI partition and the OpenBSD partition. Done.
IF you are trying to multi-boot and adjust your fdisk partitions, I'd
suggest starting with the OS that is most picky and/or gives you the
least control over the install -- probably Linux or Windows. Then boot
the OpenBSD installer, and work an OpenBSD partition into available
space, and do the install as normal.
Now customize the disklabel partitions as you wish. You went out
of your way to mention swap and root, and nothing else. I'm taking
this as meaning you are intending to do things wrong by making a root-
only system. Please stop and reconsider your life choices here, this
one is probably not one of your better ones.
