Manual update of bsd.rd

Upgrading an OpenBSD system manually (release upgrade)

1. Download a suitable ramdisk kernel ( bsd.rd ), for example for OpenBSD 6.5 on AMD64

2. Place bsd.rd to / and reboot the system

3. Type bsd.rd in the bootloader

Then run something like pkg_add -uvi and update all packages.

Result:

• Keep OpenBSD up to date, use KARL, Anti-ROP etc.

• Use syspatch from now on: Upgrade OpenBSD via syspatch
