Sorry for the recent noise.
For who interested I collect all the info of my one day approach to a
safe launch of OpenBSD on the Mac (NB: mine is from early 2011) in a
post on http://bsdload.com.
Don't missunderstand what I wrote, starting an OpenBSD live installation
with an existing MacOS inst
I solved it!
- launched: fdisk -i -b blocks[@offset[:EF]] sd2 that update the MBR
with the proper position of i
- I set the OpenBSD boundaries to the full disk
- I createed myself [i] - just like fdisk does, like an msdos
partition within the coordinates passed to fdisk above
- Then newfs_msd
I'm leaving for a moment the Fuguita project to return to my station, to..let
it run on the Mac.
The EFI partition must be named I, must contain efi/BOOT and be in the first
sector of the disk, the latter
can't be fixed otherwise by some utilities like installboot for example?
Eg. Installboot -p
For who is interested..I then discovered that my actual system on stick
is not detected by my old Mac Pro (2011) cause miss the EFI boot..
FuguIta dvd/stick allows to create a new stick with EFI boot that
solved everything.

Back here.
I'm playing all the day with OpenBSD on the Mac, thxs to Fuguita
project.
As first, I want really to thank for the great job Fuguita guys did,
playing with ram. Looking to the numbers of gb OpenBSD is running
on it is all really impressive.
Then a little report of the problems found
I got the boot menu by pressing the Option / Alt while starting but no
possibility to boot from usb, eheh..
