Hi,
For autoinstall, /auto_upgrade.conf is checked on the file system in
bsd.rd.
So you need to put your /auto_upgrade.conf file inside it.
There is no official method or tool for doing that, but it is possible:
see http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc=141552533922277=2 for a
possible way.
If I recall correctly, other examples exists in misc@.
Regards.
