Hi, For autoinstall, /auto_upgrade.conf is checked on the file system in bsd.rd. So you need to put your /auto_upgrade.conf file inside it. There is no official method or tool for doing that, but it is possible: see http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=141552533922277&w=2 for a possible way. If I recall correctly, other examples exists in misc@. Regards. -- Sebastien Marie
