If you don't have a hdd, how do you expect to -download- and burn an ISO to begin with? Oh, with your knoppix CD? How did you burn that to begin with? Your bootloading methodology is flawed, as is your argument.
If instead you mean, is there some OpenBSD install that doesn't touch the hdd - well, you can use bsd.rd [rd being RAMDISK] or look at related projects such as www.opensoekris.org which are designed more for that application, the thread was about _installation_ and for that a file in a.iso format is not necessary. And for those who are used to burning boot disks with tools like Nero or mkisofs, then the cdrom32.fs file provided by OpenBSD is more than enough to let folks burn an install CD.
