Works great. As a long term Linux user I wasn't aware of this BSD feature (and I'll add that the quality of advice given on this forum was a factor in deciding to switch my desktop PC to OpenBSD recently).
Just to make usage clearer for other OpenBSD noobs like me, set status using 'stty status ^t' as per
jggimi's post, start dd, then type ctrl-t while the transfer is taking place to display the current status.
