Thanks for the suggestions.

I checked the BIOS configuration and it appears that the SATA controller was
set to IDE (not sure how that happened). I have now set it to AHCI, but I am
seeing another error in dmesg....

ahci0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "NVIDIA MCP73 AHCI" rev 0xa2: irq 11, AHCI
1.1
ahci0: failed to start command DMA on port 0, disabling
ahci0: failed to start command DMA on port 2, disabling
scsibus0 at ahci0: 32 targets, initiator 32

Does this mean that AHCI on my m/b is not supported in OpenBSD?
Any other thoughts?
