As others have said the OpenBSD installer is able to re-use the entire
disk and will install the nessicary components to boot OpenBSD. I'll simply
add that you would do well to read and understand the Installation Guide [1]
and the INSTALL file for the architecture you are using (likely amd64[2]
since you mention EFI) before you attempt the installation, they should
answer nearly all of your questions -- even the ones you don't know you
have yet.
