freeze on startup
tried upgrading an old box from 6.4 to 6.5 to 6.6.
process worked like a charm until last upgrade loaded some firmware update and
I restarted.
hardware is a Gigabyte Celeron motherboard with an ssd and an hd. There is an
extra pci network card.
GA-J1900M-D2P micro-ITX
The system locks at this point:

I cannot boot in safe mode as it freezes at the same point.
I can boot into bsd.rd, which I assume to be still at version 6.5
any pointers would be appreciated

BIOS/MBR vs UEFI/GPT install
My computer allows me to boot from USB disk prepared with minirootXX.iso in two ways, Legacy and EFI. I used Legacy until now with BIOS/MBR to install and use OpenBSD. I tried UEFI/GPT but things went wrong and I was not able to boot OpenBSD's kernel after install. Is there any penalty using BIOS/MBR versus UEFI/GPT? Are there any extra steps to be taken if one uses UEFI/GPT other than dd minirootXX.iso to an USB disk? Thank you.
