Apologies I lost the OP's mail. But this is what helped me a great deal
installing OpenBSD on my rpi4b:

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=160708819221625&w=2

It has to be concisely read, and if you do it will work. Some things are
newer now like the eeprom. I'd say just improvise or install and upgrade.

I must confess it didn't work for me the first day, upon the second day I got
it to work though. And upgrading I've always done manually and made sure
the firmware wasn't overwritten, I have several backups of this on my disk, and
it happened once where I bricked booting OpenBSD. But that was fixed by
fixing the USB3 disk with my laptop (amd64) the byte order is the same
thankfully.

Best of luck!
