It is possible that the new boot loader installed when you upgraded is not within the part of the disk which can be booted from. Output from disklabel would throw some light on this (though wouldn't totally confirm it, as it will only show the partition location, not the location of the kernel and boot loader). There is a section "Partition size and location limitations" in http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#LargeDrive which might be relevant.
