Before installing OpenBSD on the USB drive,
  • format it as type 0B (Win95 FAT32)
  • boot the install media (bsd.rd)
  • mount the USB drive as a DOS device
  • copy dmesg(8) output to the USB drive. Be sure that this output contains the on-the-fly message about mounting the USB drive.
  • umount the USB drive
  • boot whatever operating system is typically used
  • copy-&-paste the entire dmesg(8) output into the response to this message.
Yes, this dmesg(8) output will be for bsd.rd (not bsd.sp or bsd.mp...), but within it will be the kernel's recognition of the USB drive. This may give an idea as to whether it is supported or not.
