No you don't chudazoid, you just select your usb disk with the file sets after selecting "disk" as your file location On Sat May 1, 2021 at 7:37 PM CST, Luke Small wrote: > I would do that, but I’ll have to figure out how to manually mount my > encrypted partition, which sysupgrade and bsd.rd

FWIW, I run a server with -current. That always has some small risks (which I haven't run into at all for a long time! +1 developers!!!) Because of those possibilities, I added a second bootable backup disk. I intend to keep running -current. I will now put 6.9-stable on the second disk. This

If you want to move back to stable, you would have to boot bsd.rd and select "Upgrade" in the prompt, then install from http with the correct path for 6.9-stable On Fri Apr 30, 2021 at 9:49 PM CST, Luke Small wrote: > We’re there major irreversible changes made to the following snapshot: > >

I thought I’d be nice and try the beta to help out, but if the ramdisk doesn’t even work anymore like it has in the past for me, I’m just going from 6.9-current to 7.0-stable and never looking back at trying current anymore. I could try sysupgrade -n and download the requisite 6.9-release files to

I tried that by the way. I even mv’ed my pf.conf to nullify it and tried and it couldn’t download from the gigenet mirror which absolutely has the 6.9 files. It didn’t work at all. Sysupgrade really needs to be able to be working on versions as well as -r and -s! The program isn’t intelligent
