What you need is BIOS support (I'm assuming i386/amd64 here). If the
BIOS can boot from it, you can generally install OpenBSD from it. If
the only option is to install through USB CD-ROM, then I would assume
the BIOS supports it and you can "Just Do It (tm)".
Can you not use pxeboot to install via network btw ? Sounds like a
more convenient option to me (having heard the noise these blade
systems can produce .. the less time you spend in their presence, the
better IMO). Read the pxeboot(8) manpage for more details.
