Did the same on my edge firewalls two days ago, with sysupgrade.

Re: upgrade 6.6 -> 6.7
Hi, yes of course! All systems are running amd64 with 768MB or 1GB ram, I used sysupgrade to upgrade. The tool works, however, a short notice before rebooting would be nice. The last thing I saw was upgrading the firmware, then the ssh-connection stalled (system rebooted). After the upgrade I just thought: wow, that was fast! Linux/KVM was straight forward, "like on real hardware". FreeBSD/bhyve virtualization technology basically uses 2 components: the bootloader and the hypervisor. It needs some manual steps (using bhyve-grub as bootloader): *) sysupgrade -n, then shutdown *) vm.conf usually has a line like 'grub_run0="kopenbsd -h com0 -r sd0a /bsd"' - use /bsd.upgrade instead of /bsd - this can also be configured in grub boot menu *) Upgrade finishes and reboots again automatically, so in grub use /bsd again.

upgrade 6.6 -> 6.7
Hi, just for info: Upgrading from 6.6 to 6.7 worked without flaws on my OpenBSD VMs on Linux/KVM and FreeBSD/bhyve hypervisors! 6.7 feels faster and snappier! Thanks to you all for your hard work! Regards, infoomatic
