How small is "small"? Contrary to VMS, you can boot drives lager 1GB
under OpenBSD (and NetBSD) in a VS3100M20-76, it has something to do
with the way the ROM and VMS see the disk - I do not remember. Old
standard PC drives work just fine.

Not necessarily. If you can get an SCSI CD drive, try to boot from CD.
Some non-DEC CD drives work, some don't. For me, a Teac 532S works,
an HP CD does not.
