Thanks Soko -- setting to default boot on the OpenBSD partition didn't help. Instead, I had to specify the root device manually to the boot loader using the -a flag. Without such, I notice the root device is still pointing to the SD card ??
boot device: sd0
root on rd0a swap on rd0b dump on rd0b

At the bootloader, I use the flag -a
OpenBSD/armv7 BOOTARM 0.5
boot> b sd0a:/bsd -a
Then OpenBSD proposes the root device to be sd0a, for me to confirm. How can I fix this ?

Issue now is pfctl invocations in /etc/rc is triggering
pfctl: /dev/pf: Device not configured --> does the device pf in /etc/MAKEDEV require a different numbers for the my A10 device ??

The /etc/rc boot-up continued with failed start-up of daemons:
   starting early daemons: syslogd(failed) pflogd(failed).
   starting RPC daemons:.
   savecore: can't find device 20/14778624
   checking quotas: done.
   kvm_mkdb: can't open /dev/ksyms
   clearing /tmp
   kern.securelevel: 0 -> 1
   creating runtime link editor directory cache.
   preserving editor files.
   starting network daemons: sshd(failed) smtpd(failed) sndiod(failed).
   ifconfig: SIOCSIFGATTR: No such file or directory
   starting local daemons: cron(failed).

I had to commented-out ntpd to let the boot-up arriving at the login: prompt !!

Any advice / comment is appreciated !

There is a Linux files partition on your sd0 that is marked bootable. It
shouldn't be there. FAT32L should, I believe, be marked bootable.

You probably haven't cleared up the disk before the installation properly.
Clear it by fdisk, mark all partitions blank (zero) and repeat the
installation.

After successfully installing on an Olinuxino A10 board via the SD card onto a Toshiba disk with the following MBR partition table, I rebooted and again offered to perform another OpenBSD installation. Why ? Thanks in
advance for any enlightenment !
