Can you reproduce this on any aarch64 device?  I don't have anything
armv7 to try.  (I guess the kernel won't actually boot on my db410c
but at least it should get as far as trying if I could reproduce this
on aarch64)

I guess the openbsd bootloader is recognizing the "disks" differently
now with more accurate devicepaths.  Or maybe some hack that was used
to make things work before with the non-standard dp's is causing
problems now?
