During my work on SBSA Reference Platform in QEMU (sbsa-ref) I use
several operating systems to test do they run on emulated machine.
OpenBSD is one of them.
OpenBSD 7.3 boots fine on all core types. OpenBSD 7.4 fails on
Neoverse-V1/N2/max. Same situation with today's 7.5-current snapshot.
To track the problem I opened a bug against QEMU [1] to have all
information in one place.

If I use older cores (like Neoverse-N1 which is default for sbsa-ref)
then installer boots fine:

Welcome to the OpenBSD/arm64 7.4 installation program.
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell?
For newer cores, like Neoverse-V1/N2 or max it hangs after
"wsdisplay0: screen 0 added (std, vt100 emulation)" line.
7.5-current snapshot hangs after "ACPI0007" lines.
