I seem to be unable to upgrade #OpenBSD VMs from 7.5 to 7.6 running under #OpenBSD 7.6 vmm.
After sysupgrade I reboot and it hangs at:
...
virtio4 at pci0 dev 5 function 0 "OpenBSD VMM Control" rev 0x00
vmmci0 at virtio4
virtio4: irq 9
isa0 at mainbus0
com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns8250, no fifo
com0: console
That's it. The only peculiarity is that right at the top I see:
>> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.65
upgrade detected: switching to /bsd.upgrade
|
com0: 115200 baud
switching console to com0
>> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.65
boot>
booting hd0a:/bsd.upgrade: 4101039+1721344+3887112+0+704512 [109+465408+318888]=0xab0b98
ucode too large
…
Any ideas?
