Thanks Martin, that worked! Out of interest I now see exactly the same behavior as the post I referenced before (http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ppc&m=141215377210183&w=2). MP doesn't get past mounting root, but SP works just fine. I'll take your advice from that post and stick to SP for the moment. Thanks, Ian.
