What's wrong is you are violating the basic rule of "boot from 'a', root
is 'a'".
Anything you do to work around it today may break in the future, I don't
think there has been any real interest with developers in supporting
multiple OpenBSD systems on one physical (or logical) disk.
Going backwards to ignore a problem isn't the OpenBSD Way.
If your goal is to wind-back a bad upgrade, you have your backups
(RIGHT??) of all your config files and data files...just reinstall the
old version that worked and all associated packages (list is at
/var/db/pkg on your backup).
