I think one of the NICs is shared and when OpenBSD boots up and enumerates them, it also resets the NIC which upsets idrac. You can probably figure out which NIC is shared and hack the kernel to skip enumerating it. Someone had the same problem some time ago and there was a hacky patch for it but I can't find the email in the archive now.
