Hi,
Can someone help me understand how sysmerge works? I made all the
config changes and then followed the instructions at
http://openbsd.org/faq/upgrade52.html and did this:
# sysmerge -s $RELEASEPATH/etc52.tgz -x $RELEASEPATH/xetc52.tgz
but don't know where the files are stored? My preference has always
to do a full/new reinstall - how does sysmerge merge it back into the
system?
I feel rather dumb, but read the upgrade and the man page quite a few
times, and don't really get it :(
This undeadly article might help with the history ...

I use something like ...
sysmerge -s http://<mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/etc52.tgz -x
http://<mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/xetc52.tgz
Thanks!
