I've been running OpenBSD 6.4 on a USG PRO-4 using external SSD drive

The platform page states "OpenBSD/octeon can be installed on all

The USG PRO-4 uses emmc storage. According to commit 1.28 of RAMDISK config "
Add a driver for OCTEON MMC host controller.
Tested on EdgeRouter Pro, and Shasta."
Therefore I should be able to install on the emmc, correct assumption?
I'm running my Edgerouter Pro off of the emmc without any issue. All I
had to do was adjust the uboot command to point to the mmc rather than USB.
If so, is there a good way to dump existing factory firmware from emmc
before I install OpenBSD? At some point I may have to restore to
factory.
I may be completely wrong, but it may be as simple as booting a bsd
ramdisk and dding the emmc device containing the stock firmware into an
image file onto a drive connected via the external USB port. From
there, the stock firmware should be restorable by doing the reverse.
But I may also be completely wrong as I've never tried this.
