"invalid sector size 65535"

After setting up my PC with Linux using EFI and grub2 to boot, I installed 
OpenBSD on the same disk.

Booting OpenBSD shouldn't be that hard with grub2, in fact it took just a few 
lines (that's what I thought):

menuentry "OpenBSD" {
    set root=(hd0,gpt4)
    kopenbsd /bsd -r sd0a
}

As you can see below, the OpenBSD-partition is the 4th on the disk.

But as it turned out, this does not work. I'm always ending up with this error 
message from grub:

"invalid sector size 65535"

Since booting to my Linux works without any problems, I doubt that the problem 
lies in a incorrect grub2-installation. Also I'm pretty sure OpenBSD was 
installed correctly.

I couldn't find any solutions to this that would work for me. So I'm dropping 
some information about my disk and hope for hints (sorry for localized text 
from fdisk).

# gdisk /dev/sda
