As far as I know, the OpenBSD port uses the same Booter as us.
It does not check for a FPU, only for the MMU.
Note that there is a newer Booter (2.0.1a6) here:
http://www.users.bigpond.com/pear_computers/Booter2.0.1a6.sea
for those who have time & motivation to test. Biggest change
is that it now correctly warns about stripped kernel files or
TARed a.out kernel files, and allows booting from TARed ELF
kernel files.
