Apologies for the noise… auto-complete in the email client picked out 
the wrong email address and I blindly trusted it without checking the

Hello,

I'm currently trying to install OpenBSD on my laptop, and I'm coming
across a problem. The installation only detects my installation drive
and my other USB flash drive that I use for data storage, but not my
NVMe SSD I want to do an installation on.



SATA settings in your BIOS might be worth a try: if sata mode is
set to RAID it might help to switch to ACPI [ .. ]


Wrong: Not ACPI, but AHCI.


Not sure there's any such animal when the device is NVMe.  NVMe directly 
connects to the PCI Express bus, not to a SATA controller.
