[UPDATE] Big troubles re-installing OpenBSD

Hello again. After a first successful installation of OpenBSD, I found an unexpected situation when propping up the .xsession file for configuring the cwm windows manager. All of a sudden - after rebooting - the OS was not showing any GUI log in prompt, but only the CLI.

I then decided to redo the installation from scratch. That's where troubles arose.
Everything was done exactly like suggested from:
1. https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html
2. https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/openbsd-on-a-laptop/

and from @J65nko, using the same flash USB installer containing the OpenBSD file sets.

The installation was successful - apparently without any glitch - but then when finally rebooting (exactly like suggested at link 2. immediately before 'Network Setup' section), the system is ONLY showing back the BIOS interface options, and does not show any OpenBSD login GUI, nor CLI.

I tried to reinstall the whole thing for #3 times, without any different outcome.

What now?

(thank you in advance)
