## 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.

`sysupgrade -s` which should also update the base system to the latest available

## Another approach
|

|

Using `sysupgrade`.
|

|

```console
|

$ doas sysupgrade -s

Verifying sets.

Upgrading.

```

|

The computer will reboot after the download.
|
||||
|
||||
Updating installed packages:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ doas pkg_add -u
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever a new release appears (currently 7.4) you may need to
|
||||
add `-D snap` to the above command.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ doas pkg_add -D snap -u

Well, I usually reboot the laptop after this step just to be sure.
|
||||
Also my `~/.cache` gets cleaned on reboot so also the Firefox
|
||||
cache gets cleaned (and others) in one run :)
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ shutdown -r now
|
||||
Shutdown NOW!
|
||||
shutdown: [pid: 50674]
|
||||
|
||||
System shutdown time has arrived
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Computer reboots... and all should be fine again.
