If one looks at
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/GENERIC
one finds that the dc driver was added to the GENERIC kernel with
version 1.30 (RELEASE was 1.26). So dc support was not in
RELEASE but is in the GENERIC kernel now (CURRENT), one also
finds that the latest GENERIC is 1.34 so alot of things have
happened since RELEASE.

The same story goes for all of the Sparc64 tree, huge things are
happening.

So instead of using RELEASE use a snapshot of CURRENT avialable at
your local FTP in pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc64. If the first one
you try works then congratulations otherwise wait a week and try a
new one.
