## Upgrade process
At the boot prompt, boot with the `bsd.rd` kernel.
```plain
>> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOTX64 3.65
boot> boot bsd.rd
```
Choosing <kbd>U</kbd> for _Upgrade_ and continue to the server path.
Type `/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64` to set the sets location.
This installs now the latest compiled system binaries built from the current
OpenBSD source tree.
After the installation you can normally hit <kbd>Enter</kbd> to reboot your
computer.
Finish the upgrade process by updating the userland packages/binaries with:
```console
$ doas pkg_add -u
```
# My thoughts
I'm not sure where the exact difference is between this workflow and just using
`sysupgrade -s` which should also update the base system to the latest available
snapshot.
