Using OpenBSD 6.3 and vmd(8)
Create the disk image
vmctl create disk.img -s 4G
Start the virtual machine booting bsd.rd kernel, disk.img as disk,
install63.iso as cdrom and 512M of memory
vmctl start "live" -b /bsd.rd -d disk.img -r /path/to/install63.iso -m 512M
Follow OpenBSD install, but when asked if you would like to change default
console answer no
Change the default console to com0? [yes] no
and finish the installation.
Now we are ready to dd(1) the disk to our USB stick rsdX
dd if=disk.img of=/dev/rsdXc bs=1m
The USB stick is ready to boot.
Using GNU/Linux and QEMU
Create disk.img
qemu-img create disk.img 4G
Start a virtual machine using disk.img as hard drive, booting from first
cdrom, install63.iso as cdrom and 512M of memory
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda disk.img -boot d -cdrom /path/to/install63.iso -m 512
Follow OpenBSD install to the end.
Now we are ready to dd(1) the disk to our USB stick sdX
dd if=disk.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
The USB stick is now ready to boot.
