Can I rebuild my own CD-ROM image?

Yes.
Here's a brief description of how to build a LiveCD image;

  1. Get a build tool.
    ftp http://kaw.ath.cx/dl/pub/OpenBSD/LiveCD/tools/tools-4.X.tar.gz
  2. Extract it
    tar xvzpf tools-4.X.tar.gz
  3. Copy kernel
    cd tools-4.X
    rm bsd.orig
    cp bsd bsd.orig
    (Or compile your customized kernel using tools-4.0/lib/RDROOT, then copy it to tools-4.X/bsd)

  4. Copy your OpenBSD file-tree under tools-4.X/cdroot.dist
    For example;
    cd cdroot.dist
    (cd YOUR-OPENBSD-FILE-TREE && tar cpf - .) | tar xvpf -
  5. Make an ISO image
    make livecd.iso
  6. Burn it.
    cdio -f /dev/rcd0c blank             ( <- Only for CD-RW )
    cdio -f /dev/rcd0c tao livecd.iso

That's all.

Can I install this LiveCD to HDD?

Yes.

  1. Install OpenBSD to HDD in unusal way.
    Allocate partition 'a' with the free size larger than 650MB.
  2. Copy three files from FuguIta's media to the target HDD.
    Here's a sample;
    mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0c /mnt
    cp /mnt/bsd-fi /mnt/bsd-fi.mp /mnt/fuguita.ffsimg /
    umount /mnt
  3. Then reboot.
    Specify fuguita's kernel as running kernel;
    boot> bsd-fi
    or
    boot> bsd-fi.mp
