## 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.
|
|
|
|
## Another approach
|
|
|
|
Using `sysupgrade`.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ doas sysupgrade -s

Verifying sets.

Fetching updated firmware.

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.
