Further multi-boot is absolutely not a good idea from experience. Some OS
just don't care about your boot, they claim they own the platform and will
occasionally quite mess with it.
That's not just Windows.
Best option is multi drive and select bootable drive on bios short-key
but each
one is essentially its own complete OS/Boot partition independently from the
others.
That's pretty safe and working not too bad.

Multiboot support will never be a priority in OpenBSD.
None of the developers are using multiboot scenarios. We develop and
test OpenBSD to support what we use, that is why it is so good at what
it does, and that is also also why it sucks ass for multiboot.
I suggest you get over it. If that is a dealbreaker, I guess OpenBSD
is not for you!
We'll be perfectly happy if people insisting on multiboot go elsewhere.
They'll be happier also.

Actually, I think it's a bug that OpenBSD cannot create EFI partitions
manually. File
systems that write MSDOS, mount points that write /boot/efi, or none at all are
not
recognized by the system, and the installer will indicate that it can't install
the
boot and fail to boot the system. If you want to use a custom partition, you
must
first use AutoPartition to create a number of partitions, including an
i-partition,
i.e., an efi partition. Then do it manually by deleting the partitions other
than the
i-partition. This is the only way to customize the partition. Any manually
created efi
partition system will not be recognized.
