I updated my Loongson netbook from OpenBSD 6.6 on the week-end to 6.9… the process I followed: 1. download bsd.rd for OpenBSD 6.7 from ftp.openbsd.org 2. boot it, do an "Upgrade" 3. once booted into OpenBSD 6.7, do `sysupgrade` to get to 6.8 4. once booted into OpenBSD 6.8, do `sysupgrade` to get to 6.9 Note that in my case, I had some fiddling inside PMON2000 to switch the image from /bsd to /bsd.rd and back again at each step as the installer/`sysupgrade` does not do this for you. On AMD64, this should not be a problem. you should be able to a `sysupgrade` Worst case scenario might be temporarily changing /etc/installurl to ftp.openbsd.org to obtain the necessary files. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
