Thank you, I did as you suggested and I was able to narrow down the issue
to this line of code in /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/stand/efiboot/efiboot.c:

EFI_CALL(ST->RuntimeServices->GetTime, &t, NULL);


The GetTime call would always return the same time. It turned out that my
BIOS clock was frozen and was not ticking so the boot prompt was waiting
for a time that never arrived.

I learned a lot about OpenBSD efiboot and a good BIOS lesson. Always use
the clear CMOS hardware jumper after a BIOS update. I have been using the
"Load defaults" in the BIOS after a BIOS update but that is not good enough.

Thanks again Theo for your direction and encouragement.
