How to upgrade:
- Backup your system.
- Download http://<your nearest mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/bsd.rd and insert in your root directory
- Reboot, and type "bsd.rd" at the "boot>" prompt
- Type "u" to select [u]pgrade, and press the Enter key.
- Follow the prompts to upgrade your OS.
- Reboot, then run sysmerge(8) to complete your upgrade, pointing at http://<your nearest mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/etc55.tgz and http://<your nearest mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/xetc55.tgz.
- Manually complete any changes not implemented by sysmerge, such as removal of old files.
- Upgrade third party packages with pkg_add(1). You will find the "-u" option extremely helpful.
- Manually build any ports which fail package upgrades due to being out of sync.
