Re: [Q] Building a release, how do I create install60.fs and install60.iso
With help from Theo Buehler, I was able to create the install60.fs and
install60.iso images.
I would like to propose a patch to /usr/src/share/man/man8/release.8
that includes what I learned. I have attached a CVS diff of the
proposed manpage change.
Should I submit the patch to this list or to another?
Thanks everyone!

I was following along with man release - unfortunately my RELEASEDIR doesn't contain those two files. I'm guessing that there is some additional make target that I need to tickle but I haven't found it yet. I'll keep digging. Thanks, Bryan
Re: [Q] Building a release, how do I create install60.fs and install60.iso
Thanks Scott. I'm backing up the internal drive via time machine right now. I have a hacked kernel that is seeing the NVMe drive just fine. I'm going to shrink it, create an empty partition and see what happens when I try to install OpenBSD 6.0-current on it.

Just wanted to say good luck and I'm rooting for you! I've got a Macbook8,1 that would be better with OpenBSD running most days instead of OS X. :) On 06/16, Bryan C.

You can take a look at ISO available from mirrors and check its contents and create that ISO same way with your files I'm probably on a fool's errand but I'm trying to get this MacBook 9,1 working.

Most easy way is to use snapshot, but because of BETA phase now last one is 15 days old so either you can try it if it works else you can try something else. USB flash is simply as HDD so you can eg. make dd of your current to flash. For EFI you can follow https://blog.jasper.la/openbsd-uefi-bootloader-howto/ (only "special" part here is -b option for fdisk which is not so understandable in man, rest is easy)
