Hi,
I just wanted to say that I successfully upgraded my RPIv4 to OpenBSD 7.0.
I want to share my experience:
1. Wasn't sure if I should hold off or not and after seeing so many
FAIL reports I learned off them. Thank you to all those who failed
and all those who tried to help them. You helped me a great deal.
2. Backed up my /dev/sd0i which I mounted with mount_msdos -l first.
I used cp -R /mnt /root/boot (which I had previously mkdir'ed).
3. Started sysupgrade -r and waited for it to install.
4. At the next boot, booted into bsd.rd and that panic'ed. Aha, so
that's what the commotion was about.
5. Turned off RPI, and removed my USB external SSD. Booted my AMD64
netbook and mounted sd1a and sd1i (with -l again) and copied (with
cp -R) the boot contents back.
6. Reconnected USB external SSD after unmounting both filesystems, and
turned RPIv4 on.
7. Watched it boot into 7.0.
After booting into X11 I noticed my root password didn't work. Somehow my key-
map was not in german keyboard mode and I have a Y or Z in my root password.
These keys are swapped in german keyboards vs. US keyboards. No sweat, I
sued and was able to sysmerge, cvs update (/usr/src and /usr/ports), and
finally pkg_add -u'ed. That's still runnning while I'm typing this.
Thank you OpenBSD and arm64 team!
Best regards,
-peter
