Narrative:
I was the pilot monitoring and the captain was pilot flying. We checked the ATIS in ZZZ and set up for; briefed; and reviewed the lda runway xx into ZZZ. At first we calculated landing performance for flaps 5; but after encountering ice speeds we decided to land with flaps full for the lower approach speeds. I ran the performance numbers for a flaps full landing with ice speeds and we adjusted the landing speeds on the mcdu. In due course; we were cleared for the approach. The captain set 1;700 ft. In the altitude selector for the FAF; and we were in LNAV and path until the fix prior to the FAF. At that point the vertical mode was changed to fpa. I believe at that moment the fpa was too steep; which eventually gave us the warning. At about 900 ft we received a 'caution obstacle' egpws warning. The captain immediately adjusted the flight path; stopped the descent; continued his turn to follow the river visually after the FAF for xx; and we landed on runway xx in ZZZ. Corrective actions: in the future I will double verify the fpa setting after exiting VNAV and make sure it matches the chart so as to stay above any fixes between the FAF and map.
