I installed OpenBSD 6.6 (amd64) on my computer, but when I try to boot I get
this:

hd0 is the right disk based on `machine diskinfo`.

A fellow OpenBSD user on this list suggested that this is due to a bug in
OpenBSD's BOOTX64.EFI - that it only reads the first 1024GB (2^31 sectors) of
the disk while my partition is at sector 3802170304 causing a daddr32_t
overflow in /sys/arch/amd64/stand/efiboot/efidev.c which then returns EINVAL
(invalid argument).
