At this moment, I do not see your attachment / image.
1) The correct MBR partition # for OpenBSD is A6, not E6.
2) The OpenBSD disklabel program will set the range of valid LBAs for OpenBSD from the MBR partition table. You can override these, if you wish, by using the "b" disklabel command.
Without more information, such as the output of fdisk, I cannot determine what the problem is. But I suspect it is human error, as you have this problem in a virtual machine as well as a real one.
I suspect the most likely problem is a misunderstanding of how to use the disklabel program, since you have trouble even when you select "use entire disk".
When you make that selection, the install script will use "fdisk -i" which will create a single MBR partition, type A6, spanning the entire drive. It then puts you into the disklabel program in interactive mode.
It is because you are unable to manipulate the disklabel partitions from this point within qemu that I suspect a problem using the disklabel program, rather than a physical or configuration problem. But it is just a guess, I do not know.
