Turn legacy boot back on. OpenBSD doesn't support GPT yet. OpenBSD doesn't support UEFI yet. Bitrig did GPT and that might not be so hard to import. There is kernel GPT partition code, kernel uuid code, and a gdisk utility (Son of fdisk) UEFI requires quite a bit of work. At a minimum, we need new boot blocks AND there's kernel BIOS interface code that needs a look. Or rather, an EFI replacement. FreeBSD did this. It's worth looking at if you want a serious understanding of why it's more annoying to read your question than it is for you to turn on Legacy mode. See "Tasks": https://wiki.freebsd.org/UEFI
