As stated by jggimi, if you installed OpenBSD to the drive when it was in an enclosure it would be on the USB bus and hence be detected as a simulated SCSI drive.

Once installed back in the new system it would be on the native controller for that system, device names and numbering obvious may differ.. this should have been apparent to you.

At the boot> prompt you could pass '-a' along with '-s' as a flag to manually specific the root partition so that you're using the GENERIC kernel and not the RAMDISK kernel, the same thing applies.. you need to fix your fstab file to contain the right disk so that the partitions are mounted at boot time.

Fortunately with I believe in 5.0 the installer will ask if you want to use DUID's instead of device names in the fstab.
