OpenBSD support is in beta stage, we are going to full support from
next release.
I think you say about files from:
ftp://ftp.drweb.ru/pub/betas/unix/4.29.7/

to receive working version get FreeBSD distribution from
ftp://ftp.drweb.ru/pub/unix/4.29.5/
and after install just replace drwebd & drweb from OpenBSD archive.

My answer would not be correct (independ review impossible to me), so
I'll post only links to some of independed tests:
