Richard: sun blade 100 is a sparc64 system, he was specifically asking for amd64. You clearly have no idea what you're doing, and instead of learning you go to public bashing, no one is forcing you to do anything, and we've provided excellent documentation about the upgrade process. What amazes me is that upgrading is one of best things about OpenBSD, devs put a lot of effort into doing it right, and yet there are types like who come and say whatever crap they feel like to. I've started using OpenBSD in 4.2 and been upgrading since them. I *never* had an issue. There are a lot of people out there doing since much much much older releases. Insan: As for the original question, no, you should have no problems. We all run a bunch of amd64 machines and upgrade it constantly, if not daily. Please report back if you have any troubles.
