Now I want to make an installation on a USB stick using the amd64

Then comes the question of installation media and the choices are ftp
http or done.
I can do the installation via http so I'm ok. But I am wondering how do
I do in order to find the CD-rom drive. My plan is to install OpenBSD on
this machine in the future.
booting from the CD is handled by the system BIOS, OpenBSD doesn't need
to know how to access the CD to boot, as it isn't running at this point.
Installing from the CD requires that OpenBSD be able to access the disk.
It seems, for unknown reasons, there's something odd about your
computer, and OpenBSD is not recognizing the CDROM.
Install via network as you propose, then post the dmesg output,
hopefully we can figure out where your CDROM is hiding and why it won't
come out and play. As the CD and the disk system share the same
interface, I wonder if your disk is going to be recognized at this point.
