Thank you so much!
So I dd'd using the raw devices for both the usb and the mac mini. It
worked which is sweet, unfortunately due to the usb being only 4gb it
didn't partition it in the normal Openbsd way, only / /home and /usr, but I
have a bigger usb which should be able to get the normal partit
Now can you try to dd your USB stick from a Linux Live CD onto your
local drive and then try to boot. My guess is that there is some
UEFI/openBSD incompatibility.
In our case (U)EFI is representing the storage to the kernel and most

Hey Strahil,

I've used Openbsd before but my installs have gone smoothly with no issues
