Norman,
Though I've only been using OpenBSD for about a year and, from reading your

I don't think the OpenBSD license call allow it in the core install.

Another possible solution is to make a default 5.4 install to a raw qemu image
in OSX or FreeBSD and dd that to a usb stick.

Unlike some OS which have special 'hybrid' iso images that also
include an HD-like partition table, OpenBSD's are simple CD ISO images.
For 5.5 (not yet released) there's a dd'able install55.fs image.
If you want something to try now there are -current snapshots which
also have this; they are *new
Tomas, hello.
Thanks for your advice.
