Try with hard disk in when you are ready to install OpenBSD? There was a thread recently where the drive mappings change with USB sticks, based on which USB slot its inserted into. So based on that, I would infer, don't try to install to USB. You want your OS to boot regularly based on known configuration, and USB stick won't provide you with fixed drive configuration. Also, its prone to die anytime!
