OpenBSD on Proxmox

Hi, I just moved an OpenBSD 7.8 VM from ESXi 6.5 to Proxmox 9.1. This
was mostly uneventful.

On Proxmox, the VM UI shows the guest as continuously using 107% of its
allocated RAM. Is this expected, or do I need to configure something?

I installed qemu-ga, which appears to work but didn't fix the 107% RAM
problem. However, it continuously created zombie sh processes until
"cannot fork". I found https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/issues/692
which mentions that the guest agent is trying to access /etc/os-release
but creating an empty file there didn't make a difference. Is anyone
successfully running qemu-ga?

Thanks.
