Hi, for our OpenBSD PXE/autoinstall environment we are using a IPv4 PXE server and a OpenBSD mirror with IPv6 address. Since OpenBSD 7.2 we have an issue with the nameservers during the autoinstall process. (OpenBSD 6.9, 7.0 and 7.1 work fine) If we start a VM to install OpenBSD 7.2 via PXE

Autoinstall ... too "auto"?

autoinstall with local file

The man page seems to indicate that autoinstall will work with an auto_upgrade.conf file on the local machine, but specifying the path as: /auto_upgrade.conf or file://auto_upgrade.conf or file:auto_upgrade.conf do not work. Is this still a "watch this space!" feature? -- Edw
