Welcome to our funny family!
When it comes to installing on a machine without a CD drive, & no other machine is available with OpenBSD already installed, you have one of the simpler solutions:
Plug in a USB CD drive & install from it.
Good call!
This assumes that another machine is available which can be used to burn the ISO to disc. Burning is OS agnostic.
Otherwise, another machine will have to be booted in some manner with OpenBSD,
(booting another machine with the ISO mentioned before...) -- be it the installation kernel
bsd.rd used by
install48.iso or the regular kernel
bsd which is used by any running system.
jggimi's live CD is another option.
Once a system has been booted with any OpenBSD kernel, manually build a bootable USB drive, either with only the
bsd.rd kernel, or with
bsd.rd + all file sets.
