Hello Sebastien, hello Jonathan
@Sebastien thank you for your valuable hints and advice, I did learn
quite a bit from it. The machine has been reinstalled to the latest
snapshot, as it is needed.

There is no OpenBSD bootloader for armv7 or octeon, in part because
u-boot by default provides no interface for enumerating disks, reading blocks
or putc/getc equivalents unlike firmware shipped with almost every
other system.
As a result the kernel has to live on filesystems u-boot understands,
fat32 or ext2 not ffs. So /bsd will not be the kernel that is loaded.
Might be a stupid question, but I haven't found an answer to it yet
- how does one update to a new snapshot/kernel on an octeon system?
kernel arguments like -c to get into ukc can be set via
setenv bootargs
though it seems the octeon code may not use that while armv7 does.
This was the part I was missing, ta.
Cheers,
Kim
