As usually, FAQ to the rescue! "Note that the OpenBSD/amd64 and OpenBSD/i386 boot loaders will load each other's kernels, making it easier to reinstall a system with the "other" platform. However, it has to be a complete "wipe and reinstall" operation -- left-over binaries from the "previous" installation will most likely make your life unpleasant."
