You will also have to activate the tftpd(8) daemon. This is typically
done through inetd(8). The standard OpenBSD install has a sample line
in inetd.conf which will do nicely for you
person working on
the system, and since you got this far, I'm going to assume that at
least one person managing this machine doesn't know what that sticker
would mean.
I would highly suggest fixing the problem (unload data, rebuild
properly, reload data).

source is to make sure you have the
closest available binary installed.
You upgrade to -current by installing snapshots.
Compiling from source is just what you do for fun, it is not part of the
upgrade process. I think this is made pretty clear in the FAQ.
