Thanks, switched to install58.fs and just booted, it defaulted to
bsd.rd kernel & booted without issue. Without needing any manual
intervention.

Yes, this is a known problem.
See https://github.com/yasuoka/openbsd-uefi/issues/2
Try latest install58.fs and boot the uncompressed bsd.rd.

It's still not possible to boot miniroot58.fs on a mid-2012
MacBookAir5,1, the miniroot58.fs I tried is dated 06-Nov-2015 13:24
from ftp.fr.openbsd.org.

I fixed the problem with the booted device on cvs repository.
Thank for your report.

efiboot had used a protocol of UEFI which macbook doesn't support.

Yes, softraid will work with efiboot.

Wonderful! I rebuilt my BOOTX64.EFI and installed it to the EFI boot
partition and the MacBook Air finds the kernel perfectly. The EFI boot
no longer shows anything other than hd0 as I would expect. No more fd0
or errors about it. Should a softraid(4) crypto root also work fine with
EFI boot? Thank you so much!

Yes. It should work just the same way as with MBR boot.

Interesting. I booted to do the install with miniroot58.fs written to a
USB flash drive. I then added an additional partition to the same USB
flash drive and put all my sets in there (long story short). Normally I
have been unable to get to the install prompt successfully with
traditional non-(U)EFI boot media. The install has always frozen with
various problems. This time, after booting from EFI, everything went
just fine. Now, if I disabled inteldrm(4) and switched back to efifb(4)
and used wsfb(4) in X, I could have a mostly working install. I’m hoping
changes come through on inteldrm(4) attachment to fix this display
corruption and this system might be an excellent OpenBSD option (with a
USB urtwn(4) or other for wireless).

I didn't check.
With miniroot58.fs can't boot and if I use the traditional media with
BIOS support, I have to keep on pressing a key on my keyboard to
prevent the screen from going to sleep so everything is a little
frantic.

Do you have the same issues with inteldrm(4) attaching to pci(4) and
then the display getting garbled?
