Hello,
I have an OpenBSD 7.7 system, which I tried upgrading to 7.8 using
sysupgrade
(with the final intent of bringing it up to 7.9).
Sysupgrade successfully fetches the file sets, and then boots into
installer:
Directory does not contain SHA2S6.sig. Continue without verification?
[no] yes

installboot: no OpenBSD partition
Failed to install bootblocks.
You will not be able to boot OpenBSD from sd0.
The sd0 disk has OpenBSD disklabel directly on it, without MBR/GPT
partition
table. It is my understanding that this is somehow "confusing" the
installer.
Is there any way of successfully performing the upgrade (apart from
reinstalling the whole system from scratch)?
Thank you in advance,
