Setup 'puppet', then you can reinstall every box, every release and
have puppet configure everything in <10 mins! ;)
Sorry, sound like I'm boasting! Haha, I just really love that we put in
the initial effort to get puppet working even though we only have a
small fleet of OBSD boxes as upgrades, scaling and change control is
really easy (and so saves what little is left of my sanity) :)

Hi,
I’ve recently was asked to take over the maintenance of an old
OpenBSD machine, which has not been updated in the last 7 years.
Currently the machine has been running for close to 1000 days on 4.1.
It has been a while since I worked with OpenBSD (shame on me), and
I’m really not sure what the best way would be to upgrade this
machine, knowning I don’t have a serial or local access to the box.
Can I do a 4.1 -> 5.4 in one shot?
thx!
Davy
The upgrade path has to be 4.1 -> 4.2 -> 4.3 ... -> 5.4
I would suggest
Full Backup -> Format -> Install 5.4 -> reconfigure the system to do
the same staff
