This fixed my problem.  
My apologies for the FAQ.  (Actually I looked and couldnt
find it just now, Where exactly is this item mentioned?)

Does this mean that before OpenBSD can be installed
on a system, there must already be a DOS MBR created
on the drive?  If so, this seems braindead.  Not
everyone installs OpenBSD/x86 over a former windows
installation.
