I don't think booting directly from USB is possible.  You can
configure U-Boot to boot the OpenBSD bootloader from USB by setting
the "boot_targets" variable:

  Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
  U-Boot> setenv boot_targets usb0 mmc0 pxe dhcp
  U-Boot> saveenv
  U-Boot> boot

The supported boot devices might vary from device to device.  You
might want to look at the "boot_tragets" variable before setting it
using the "printenv" command and simply reorder the entries as you see
fit.

Cheers,

Mark
