Hmmm, well I installed NetBSD 1.6 on this machine. Had to remove the 
RADIUS 24bit graphics card and just use the onboard one, but it detects 
the network card correctly. It's been happily running in multi-user 
mode now for about 5 hours.

I'm not sure it's worth the effort debugging OpenBSD on this box now 
that it's happily working on NetBSD. My next challenge will be to see 
if X Windows works ;)
