OpenBSD requires at least a Pentium these days.

Yep! I did some testing and found 6.8 was the final version to support 486 CPUs. The reason is the OpenBSD project switched to clang for the compiler in 6.9, and in the process became dependent on Pentium instructions.

However, that doesn't stop one from installing a Pentium Overdrive in an old Socket 3 board and running the latest release. ;)
