Default Upgrading encrypted 5.7 stable to -current

Hello
I have installed OpenBSD 5.7 release with full disk encryption. Since then I updated to stable using M:Tier. Now I want to upgrade to current (using snapshots). I downloaded miniroot58.fs, checked sha256sum, dd it to pendrive and boot-ed from it. I chose Upgrade. Unfortunetely upgrade script tells me that have only sd0 and sd1 drives. sd0 is physical HDD and sd1 is pendrive.
Dmesg tells me that physical HDD is on sd0. Pendrive is attached at sd1.
I tried point upgrade script at sd0.

Code:
Root disk: sd0
root filesystem: rd0a
checking filesystem ... OK
mounting root filesystem (  mount_ffs /dev/sd0a on /mnt) : device busy. Failed.
I suppose that I need manually mount filesystems and then start upgrade process. Is there a way to manually mount encrypted filesystems created by bioctl/softraid?

My /etc/fstab:
Code:
5e133a9f96314b03.b none swap sw
5e133a9f96314b03.a / ffs rw 1 1
5e133a9f96314b03.h /home ffs rw,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2
5e133a9f96314b03.e /usr ffs rw,nodev 1 2
5e133a9f96314b03.d /var ffs rw,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2
Have a nice day

The RAMDISK kernel (bsd.rd) requires you to manually define softraid devices. Repeat similar steps to creating the FDE environment.

Assuming your RAID partition on sd0 is "d", and used passphrase without a keydisk, you might do something like this:
  1. Boot the RAMDISK kernel
  2. Select the [S]hell
  3. cd /dev
  4. sh MAKEDEV sd1 sd2
  5. bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd0d softraid0

    you will be prompted for your passphrase.
  6. cd /
  7. upgrade

Is there a reason you're not using the bsd.rd from the snapshot and booting off the hard drive?

I upgrade using the bsd.rd so the normal boot process prompts for my passphrase and mounts my encrypted disk. Then at the boot> prompt, I specify the bsd.rd and go.

Tim.

OK, I'll correct my statement above. Booting the RAMDISK kernel from separate installation media requires the admin to manually provision any softraid devices.

I would probably go with what jggimi suggested, but possibly with the latest snapshot bsd.rd instead, and reinstall whatever packages are needed. The process is so simple I find it prefferable to "upgrades".

Thank you. I have done what jggimi suggested and it worked
(changed only d for a). Then upgrade. After that reboot
and sysmerge. Exported PKG_PATH to snapshot directory on mirror,
pkg_add -u. Touchpad doesn't worked and I think that
Code:
fw_update -a -v
helped. Now everything is fine.

Thank you for help.
