Quoting directly from https://man.openbsd.org/sysupgrade : "FILES /auto_upgrade.conf Response file for the ramdisk kernel." Shane, you appear to be on the right track. From what I can tell it seems to be the same thing as install.conf in autoinstall. According to autoinstall(8): "The response file is a line-oriented ASCII text file. The format of each line is: question = answer question is an installer question (not including the question mark) or a non-ambiguous part of it, consisting of whitespace separated words. answer is the answer to the question. Passwords may be in plaintext, encrypted with encrypt(1), or set to ‘*************’ (13 '*'s) to disable password logins, only permitting alternative access methods (for example, ssh(1) keys)." Therefore it seems that to ensure that the sets you do not want installed are not installed you can use the "Set name(s)" question. For example to just install the base system and no other sets, hypothetically you would put: "Set name(s) = -all base66.tgz bsd.mp bsd" in /auto_upgrade.conf However, looking at the source code this file is created by sysupgrade: "cat <<__EOT >/auto_upgrade.conf Location of sets = disk Pathname to the sets = /home/_sysupgrade/ Set name(s) = done Directory does not contain SHA256.sig. Continue without verification = yes __EOT" Thus you can't really change this unless you want to edit the script directly. The easiest method to install a limited number of sets would be to use sysupgrade -n and then remove the sets you do not want from /home/_sysupgrade before rebooting. Hope this helps, Jacob
