Dear Martin,
I saw your message and checked with my O2. There it works without a
problem with `bsd.rd.IP32` from OpenBSD 6.0 (see below). Although I have
an older firmware version than you, could it be that you're just booting
the wrong file?
This because the loading info (`9306240+565632 entry:
0xffffffffa0100000`) looks different on my machine compared to the
output from your machine (`3281248+981560 entry: 0xffffffffa8800000`).
The file size of the `bsd.rd.IP32` image is close to 10 MiB which would
match my numbers but not yours, which sum up to roughly 4.2 MiB only.
But it's just a guess currently, that these numbers reflect the size of
the loaded file.

What I've seen on my machine is that although I gave the name of the
file to load in the PROM monitor, the machine really took the name that
was given by the DHCP/BOOTP server and loaded a different file
(`bsd.IP32` instead of `bsd.rd.IP32`):

...although the loading info looks different.
Maybe that's your problem.
