AFAIK, that is normal. All my OpenBSD x86 machines do it.

Subject: [geeks] OpenBSD, "white text on blue" during boot


I just installed OpenBSD on a PC sharing a disk with Win95.
Right now I am using Fdisk to switch between which partition is
active in order to select between Win95 and OpenBSD.

I notice when booting OpenBSD I am getting the same
"white text on blue background" output just prior
to the kernel booting. as I did when I initially
installed the system.

Is something wrong in the boot sequence? Should I just
install a boot manager and it will go away? Nothing seems
to be wrong once the system is running so I hesitate to
change things around.
