I encountered this a week or two ago after I upgraded the video card to
the one that uses "amdgpu" driver. It crashes because (most likely) you
do not have amdgpu firmware installed, amdgpu-firmware-20210818
currently.

What I did:
at boot: prompt, type "boot bsd -c", then "disable amdgpu", then boot
(uhm.. "quit" to exit the kernel config I think?). It will not boot into
xenodm or xinit if you have it configured, but will give you a shell.
Run "doas fw_update amdgpu". It will download and install the firmware
and will not crash any more after you reboot.

Note: some screen freezes still happen with amdgpu, but OpenBSD
developers frequently sync the code with linux-mainline drivers, so it
will likely be fixed someday. I have not had this video card for long
enough to determine a pattern or troubleshoot it yet, sorry.
