Perhaps you need to look at the FAQ if you're running i386:
upgrading/reinstalling OpenBSD/i386 using bsd.rd-a.out [1].

If that doesn't solve your problem, a dmesg would be your best bet.
Information from a panic (trace/ps, obtained through the debugger you
get dropped into) would also be helpful. Since you mentioned you have
a serial console available, I recommend using it to file a report.

Upon freezes, I usually try to boot into the UKC to set the verbose
option. Typically, this gave me a hint in devices to disable. As a
sidenote: my own usual culprit is the ahc(4) driver. That said, this
only happens with two machines, each having an nVidia nForce2 chipset.
Given that you mentioned rd0 as a problem point, I doubt you are
having the same underlying problem.

Cheers,

Rogier
