Hi,

(I assume) you have prepared the same SD card with:
- EDK2 EFI firmware 
AND
- OpenBSD installer image

OpenBSD doesn't know from where and how the EDK2 EFI firmware got started and 
what to do to ensure the board is able to boot the installed system. OpenBSD'S 
installer only copied its OWN files, but as you have removed the SD card now 
the EDK2 EFI firmware is not there to boot the system.

Easiest way would be now to prepare the SD card ONLY with the EDK2 EFI 
firmware, insert it into the SD card slot and try to boot the board. You should 
see the EDK2 menu on the HDMI output. Select the media where OpenBSD was 
installed (probably EMMC) and boot it.

Keep the SD card in the slot, or research how to install EDK2 on the eMMC.

Best regards,
