OpenBSD -current GPT install boot failure

I tend to not understand much expecially when you mix up stuff to fix
with "Windows 10", sorry for that.

However, to have your efi partition working properly I'm guessing you miss something like:

fdisk -i -b blocks[@offset[:EF]] sdx (<- replacing sdx with your disk and offset)

To fully understand solution and risks please see my blog (signward), it should be the 5th post about a Mac setup
without efi boot.

Please note that I believe the above command should erase the disk data
and that the efi filenames must be uppercase to run properly.

NB: you should care about working in safe mode by making a backup
of you disk data before to do any operation, my tips are supplied ASIS, at
your own risk.
