I do run a couple of openbsd instances on Rpi4 and CM4 that boot over the network. My dnsmasq and nfs server is on linux. However, rarpd and bootparams run from Openbsd server. I had trouble getting bootparams running off of the linux machine.
All the steps are fairly straightforward. You do have to be careful about using NFS v3/v4 and using TCP vs UDP. Some combinations will not work. Make sure the NFS server has low latency otherwise commands will fail abruptly.
