Protectli VP2420 with Dasharo (coreboot+UEFI) v1.1.0 can't load any UEFI bsd.rd

Hi,

I search the archive on this and saw many post on this including one
from Marc Kettenis on October 30, 2020 in:

$OpenBSD: conf.c,v 1.32 2020/10/30 19:39:00 kettenis Exp $

At the time looks like it fixed many issues, but now looks like it is
back. Or may be just on my system with the new coreboot from

Dasharo (coreboot+UEFI) v1.1.0

I tried as well as some posting suggested to load earlier version, so I
did try all the way back to 6.7 as that's the latest version available
on ftp.openbsd.org

Still same results.

The unit does work with the AMI BIOS, but not Dasharo coreboot one.

There isn't any way to have Legacy BIOS.

They have either

Dasharo (coreboot+SeaBIOS) and Dasharo (coreboot+UEFI)

So stay old, or go new, and remove the extra to keep it lean and clean.

Here is what I get now same end results as before. Anything new possible
to do?

I would love to send a dmesg, but I can't get one as I can't boot anything.
