Tried that, doesn't work. It goes at 19200 up until the boot prompt, switches 
to 9600 after, and then goes to 19200 at the login: prompt. Can't read the 
/etc/boot.conf file until the HD is mounted.

How does one do that? I tried several commands after Ctrl-P early in the boot 
process, but kept getting 'syntax error'.

I have about a dozen net6501s running OpenBSD, and this is the first time I've 
seen this.
