Hello, and welcome!

If you happen to have a second disk drive, you could install outside a virtual machine. Even USB sticks will work for the purpose, but perhaps operate more slowly than the VM.

You would need to ensure you select the right drive during install, so you do not overlay your primary disk drive, and then inform your BIOS that you want to boot from the alternate device.

I note you're using OpenBSD 5.6 for your initial tests. That's fine. If you're not already aware of it, OpenBSD 5.6 will be end-of-life on November 1, when 5.8 is released. The most recent release is 5.7. There are two releases per year, and only the most recent two releases are supported.
