VLANs, OpenBSD, Cisco HP

[James Peltier]

Hi have an OpenBSD -current installation as of today that I'm trying to get 
VLANs working on.  I have an link from a Cisco 6506 (interface 5/8) to a HP 
ProCurve 5408XL port B4.  The Cisco port 5/8 is configured to the following

set trunk 5/8 on dot1q vlan 301

on the HP ProCurve I have added the VLANs to the switch and ports and it works 
but not the way I would expect.

Port B4 has VLAN 301 tagged and A1 is the port on which the OpenBSD box is 
connected which is also tagged VLAN 301. 

On the OpenBSD box I have

/etc/hostname.em0
------------------
up

/etc/hostname.vlan301
------------------
inet 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0 NONE vlandev em0 description "Uplink" 

/etc/mygate
------------------
1.2.3.254

So, here's what I don't expect and maybe my expectations are wrong, but 
anyways. This configuration doesn't work?!?  If I have

inet 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0 NONE description "Uplink" 

in /etc/hostname.em0 it works.  Since the port is tagged on the Cisco and both 
HP ports I would have thought that you needed to have the VLAN 301 
configuration on OpenBSD as well to properly untag the ports?

Any help would be extremely useful as I'm trying to deploy this as a VLAN 
router.  I'm sure it's something really simple that I'm missing here.
