Hi,
My openBSD installation was successful! I first removed all partitions
except for the EFI partition, which I left. Second I created one openBSD
partition(type A6) on the freed space, after which I partitioned that
partition with auto layout. Then I continued with the regular
installation, and after reboot I got the login prompt. So in hindsight
it was wise to leave the EFI partition. Perhaps others can benefit from
this experience.
