I am really not sure what problem you are facing for sure. I did a few times form scratch and every time it goes without any problems what so ever and I really don't see where your cpath can come from at all.
And I see no pledge issue what so ever either. Are you sure that you are actually using the proper bsd.rd, NOT a previous version somehow. You need to make sure to put it on your fat partition BEFORE trying to do the install and then create your own partition, no need to use the default one, plus it's not like you will do development on this box. What partition is your bsd.rd installed on? If you do. mount_msdos /dev/sd0i /mnt where the ^ is your fat partition. The ^ point to the i of sd0i, your may well be at a different place. After you mount it, what ls -al show. Is it really the proper one. If, not then just: cd /mnt and then download it ftp http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/octeon/bsd.rd and then make sure you load that one to do the install. I would want to help you more, but it's hard to know what you do or do not do.
