What is it OpenBSD does to prevent breaks/Stop+A from working?

Did a net install of 3.8 on a V100 and was playing with RAIDFrame. Trying to get it to boot off the second disk, it refuses to go to an ok prompt.

If I unplug both drives, set bootmode to reset_nvram in LOM and boot the machine I can use break to get to an ok prompt. However if I plug the drives back in, the instant the OpenBSD boot loader comes up, I again can't get back to an ok prompt. This is while OpenBSD is loaded (or loading), or while the machine is coming up, but before the boot loader has started.

For now I've just set it not to auto-boot, but ideally break would work outside of OpenBSD, and be disabled only while it's running.


Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,
Chris
