I know this is redundant, but, your confusing a very different computer 
for your own. We'd ask that you please read documentation COMPLETELY  
before you ask questionsl; as the very first of sentence of 
http://www.openbsd.org/hp300.html reads:

"OpenBSD/hp300 runs on most of the HP 9000 series 300 and 400 
workstations, based on the Motorola 680x0 processor family."

But never the less we've all been newbies before too...
