In the end, seen the startup timeout I ended up adding:
/usr/sbin/rcctl -f start unbound
/usr/sbin/rcctl -f stop unbound
at the end of my /etc/rc.local defeating the initial
stall of unbound and allowing me to remain in control of
my network connection..
Thanks,

Are you still running the entire system from a usb flash drive?
Yes, this is constant for me, for all my stations.
However I want to advise that launching
wiz# /usr/sbin/rcctl -f start unbound
unbound(timeout)
trying to relaunch it:
wiz# /usr/sbin/rcctl -f start unbound
unbound(ok)
this is a constant result.
If the filesystem is slow, it's possible that the second time the
data is being read from the buffer cache, so it starts faster and
doesn't hit the timeout.
I conceive after your words that only the unbound startup can be slow.
But in facts I feel unbound an overwhelming stuff considering the
descending performances since 7.7 vs unbound security gains.
If you're running OpenBSD off of a USB stick, you're going to have a bad
time. I'd definitely consider installing onto a proper disk drive.
I'm not sure what your use case is, but assuming this isn't a dedicated
DNS server and is just a workstation, I'd try out unwind - its a fair
bit lighter weight than unbound.
