## 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.
