Not exactly. The ramdisk kernel is single processor, but the configuration is also quite different to GENERIC. If you have a completed OpenBSD installation on the machine, try booting /bsd.sp from the bootloader prompt and see if halt causes the same hang. Knowing whether it's an sp/mp issue or some other difference between ramdisk and generic kernels would be a useful first step.
