Took me a while to find this, and I saw a few questions on misc@ as well and sense the same frustration I had.
The thread was this one: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=144562030714263&w=2 I am sure more will have the same frustration then me on this as just compiling the kernel it does take a LOMG while... Anyway, on a working system you do need to copy the new kernel to the fat partition of the USB dive and that was the frustrating part. The solution is actually real simple after you have done it once... Like Miod said: "the only filesystem #$%^@# u-boot can read" Then just do this: mount_msdos /dev/sd0i /mnt cp -rp /bsd /mnt/bsd umount /mnt reboot and your done. If you want to see your new file. NOT much space there, so can't keep multiple kernel there. # ls -al /mnt total 22676 drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 Dec 31 1979 . drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 512 Nov 13 22:38 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4029297 Nov 13 22:38 bsd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7559405 Oct 13 04:58 bsd.rd at reboot you have the new kernel. Hopefully this will save time to others too. I haven't find it anywhere, so now it is! # dmesg Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
