Yes, the recommended way and documented way to upgrade to current
is to download the latest snapshot. I persoanlly, as i'm sure many
others do also, boot from bsd.rd.
So open an ftp session to a local mirror, making sure it's the
"snapshot" directory, copy *.tgz files and bsd* - I also download
INSTALL.amd64 and SHA files; copy bsd.rc to / :
cp /path/to/snapshot/files/download/bsd.rd /
then reboot the machine and enter `boot bsd.rc` at the boot prompt
and select upgrade. When it asks for the location of the file sets
select disk and enter the path to the files you downloaded using
the ftp session.
Then once it's finished, update the system configuration files using
sysmerge(8).
There's lots of info on the OpenBSD website and contributors have
written some good tutorials also.
