Still I cannot doas sysupgrade -s past 14th May snapshot as the /bsd kernel fails to boot. Both you and I are fed up hearing this too. So today I'm downloading OpenBSD 7.9 and I will wipe my desktop and start a fresh in the hope that once it's installed and I switch back to -current it'll still boot the kernel ?
Yes I know if I stay with -release it'll be all good under the hood but that's just not my style. I like to moan incase you've not guessed yet ? 🤣
I am however reevaluating my BSD of choice and the outcome probably will partly depend on how I progress.
or
???
