As I don't know U-boot, I couldn't say anything...
As you told previously that you have problem when running command, I
think you have a valid shell ? If it is the case, could you run:
# sysctl kern.version
sysctl(8) isn't pledged, so it should be runnable (if you have a shell).
after, if the running bsd is a too old version (without pledge(2)
support), you will need to change the booted kernel to something else.
Reading the INSTALL.octeon file, it seems it should be possible to
choose at boottime the image you want to boot. The more simple should be
to try booting bsd.rd: it is self-contained so inside the RAMDISK the
userland will be compatible with the kernel.
And after you will have to download another bsd file, and try to boot it.
For checking the version of an arbitrary bsd file, you could use
what(1):
# what /bsd
/bsd
OpenBSD 5.8-current (GENERIC.MP) #27: Tue Oct 20 09:23:20 CEST 2015
I will try to get more information about U-boot.
