Booting OpenBSD 7.3's i386 bsd.rd

What is required please?

I am trying to boot this bsd.rd (which is a file 4Mb big) on an old
NET5500 which has 512MBytes of RAM. On a running system,

From the

boot>

prompt, doing

boot> boot bsd.rd

it appears to loads bsd.rd, but then drops straight back into the BIOS
and starts the BIOS boot.

Any suggestions.

Thanks - Damian
