I did chainloading BOOTX64.EFI !ipxe chain /openbsd/BOOTX64.EFI Since BOOTX64.EFI is actually EFI loader, it's got loaded. But it's stuck at probing device with no success. I even tried chainloading bsd.rd directly and got Exec format error message. !ipxe chain /openbsd/bsd.rd If bsd.rd kernel is EFI executable, it would be possible to load it directly without bootloader help. iPXE sanboot doesn't work on EFI system, so it's not yet an option. If sanboot is available, it would be as easy as providing miniroot59.fs entry.
