This confirms my idea. So it turns out that you've been bitten by a bug I introduced a bit more than 17 1/2 years ago, which only triggers on older 21164 processors - 21164A processors are not affected. It looks like you're the first one to try and run OpenBSD on such a processor since OpenBSD 3.7 (the bug having been introduced in 3.8). I'll build you fixed 7.2 kernels tomorrow and contact you offlist, so that you can use your system.
