Do you even have an rl0 interface? :rolleyes:

ifconfig r10 inet 172.16.30.5 netmask 255.255.255.0
I suspect you have specified the interface incorrectly.

It appears you have r10 when it should be rl0. The manner in which OpenBSD identifies interfaces is by attaching a numerical value to the driver used, ie. rl.

You also can configure through /etc/hostname.rl0.
