Seems to be (not only) a DELL thing: Some time ago I tried an Openbsd
installer on an Alienware computer, ~10 years old, which was sold by
DELL: In UEFI, IIRC, I had to change sata mode from "raid" to "ahci"
to let openbsd detect hard disks on that computer.
Seems to an older issue:

https://www.mail-archive.com/misc@openbsd.org/msg153583.html
IIRC, Debian, Fedora, Windows installed without problems on that machine:
at least in my case it might be a problem with a BIOS version too old for
an openbsd install - not being sure ..
