OpenBSD is a fair ways off. No one has yet gone through and figured out
what OpenBSD needs to boot without a BIOS. This shouldn't be especially
hard just tricky.
I have clean mostly OS independent boot method just about to go into
linuxBIOS so it shouldn't be linux specifics that hang you up.

Helping is the only way to hurry this along.
If you are ambitious you can work on getting OpenBSD to boot from
linux with my kexec stuff. I haven't written the docs yet, or the
linuxBIOS side of the code but within the next week or so I should
have it. The kexec stuff uses the same interface I plan to use in
linuxBIOS. You can find my kexec from the links page on linuxBIOS.
