The road begins on a currently updated OpenBSD 7.3 release. That means, the following commands
have been initiated and completed without errors.
```console
$ doas syspatch
$ doas fw_update
fw_update: added none; updated none; kept intel,inteldrm,iwn,uvideo,vmm
$ doas pkg_add -uU

This article may be hard to follow, because some hints are probably missing. Use your common

## Backups never hurt
We will save a list of the currently installed packages. Just for the case...
```console
$ pkg_info -m >package-list.txt
```
## Upgrading to the latest snapshot
```console
$ doas sysupgrade -s

The computer reboots automatically at this point. After the reboot, we
upgrade all the installed packages.

At this point I spent a few hours looking for a solution---I haven't found one yet. I will
probably don't look back on current to soon.
## Revert back to -release
Nonetheless, I could not fix this and I wanted to revert my system back to -release.
There is no command to downgrade from -current back to -release so we have to re-install the
base files of the last -release.
Boot the `bsd.rd` kernel which will boot up to this prompt:
```console
Welcome to the OpenBSD/amd64 7.3 installation program.
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell? █
```
Enter <kbd>u</kbd> and hit <kbd>Enter</kbd>.
```console
At any prompt except password prompts you can escape to a shell by
typing '!'. Default answers are shown in []'s and are selected by
pressing RETURN. You can exit this program at any time by pressing
Control-C, but this can leave yout system in an inconsistent state.

## Back on release
But we still run the -current kernel.
```console

Installing the latest binary patches will also create an actual kernel.

To apply the latest AMD microcode updates, we still have to execute two other

If for any reasons the packages cannot be updated because we still have newer packages
installed (from snapshots) than available on release:
Remove them all and re-install them based on the backup (package-list.txt) we did earlier.
```console

Output truncated to save some space/words.
Again, a `shutdown -r now` reboots the computer. Now all should be
