Scott:

The last time I messed with it, booting from crypto softraid was not
supported on macppc (only i386, amd64, and sparc64).  The man page for
softraid ( https://man.openbsd.org/softraid.4 ) seems to confirm that this
is still the case.

It looks like the openbsd macppc loader simply does not support softraid
volumes at this time.

Most recently, when I was looking for something similar on an aluminum g4
powerbook, I ended up just doing an encrypted home slice, unlocked at boot
from rc.local (for example, see http://astro-gr.org/openbsd-encrypt-home/ ).
