I have this in xbd0a:/boot.cfg menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot menu=Boot single user:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot -s menu=Boot installer:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot /netbsd-INSTALL.gz menu=Drop to boot prompt:prompt default=1 timeout=15 clear=1 And this in xbd0a:/ -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8858327 Nov 8 13:32 /NetBSD-11.1/amd64/binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL.gz lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 22 Nov 8 15:02 /amd64 -> NetBSD-11-branch/amd64 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 37 Nov 8 13:29 /netbsd-INSTALL.gz -> amd64/binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL.gz When I selected "current system", both for the 10.2->11.0 upgrade and now, it seems to want to upgrade the miniroot (md0a), and while it gets further, the targetroot is clearly not xbd0a, as it can't find the kernel set. I did the 11.0 upgrade by selecting "xbd0". Hmmm. Actually, after a failed attempt at "current system" (and a brief /bin/sh session in which I only ran df), an "xbd0" attempt is going forward. And now it is upgraded. gduzan-hvm# uname -a NetBSD gduzan-hvm.vm.tornadovps.net 11.1 NetBSD 11.1 (GENERIC) #0: Mon Nov 2 16:34:32 UTC 2026 [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64 Curiouser and curiouser.
