The web console copy/paste functionnality is a VMWare limitation.
I don't think it ever worked.
It think would require the console to emulate/simulate key presses
depending on what is pasted and somehow assuming what the VM keymap is.
I didn't try to install 6.5 on ESXI yet, but I definitely installed 6.4.
On a lot of ESXi versions from 5.5 to 6.7.
So you could try to install 6.4 to see if you have the same problems ?
Never experienced your problems, although I experienced some strange
behaviors with disklabeling (if I remember well sometimes it couldn't
install the bootloader or wouldn't boot after install).
They were resolved by :
- dropping to the shell at the start of the install
- fdisk -i <the disk>
- return to the install and proceed normally
Never tried to install a custom label on ESXi, but did it sucessfully
on virtualbox with 6.5 without any issue (not even needed to fdisk -i).
What ESXi version are you running ?
What disk controller are you showing to OpenBSD ?
