@stuart Thank for the suggestion - unfortunately after following the steps in that link the same error occurred (entry point at: 0x1001000); I reverted to the obsd kernel (i.e., at boot time, “b obsd”), it’s booting and the system seems to be working OK, but without dmesg - when I try to run dmesg, I get:
dmesg: sysctl: KERN_MSGBUF: Cannot allocate memory $ uname -a OpenBSD chuwi.mabvb.pro 6.7 GENERIC.MP#6 amd64 Not sure if there’s anything else I can do, if there is I’d be happy try it out.

If you upgrade by downloading and untarring sets on the running system, you can avoid updating the bootloader, the basic method is described inhttp://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade67.html#NoInstKern (obviously skip the "update the bootloader" step). Note that newer versions of the bootloader read the seed for early RNG use in the kernel, I'm not sure when it was added but you might miss out on that with a 6.7 bootloader.
