Old BIOS...

I'd like to know if it's possible to "drop" an install plugging the HDD from the lappy directly to a USB on my desktop. and how to do it...
As jggimi has already mentioned, you will need to attach whatever hard drive which will end up in the laptop to another machine, & install OpenBSD to the drive there.

Assuming you already have some other operating system installed on another computer's primary hard drive(s), OpenBSD's installation can target whatever hard drive is attached. For more information, you should study very carefully Section 4 of the FAQ found at the following:
