Goal: Upgrade a working soekris net4801 from OpenBSD 4.6 to 6.0.
First I copied the complete 256 MB SiliconDrive CF-Disk to a newer
SanDisk 8 GB Ultra one and rebootet, which worked smoothly and fine.
I took the bsd.rd from an OpenBSD 6.0 i386 machine:
# ls -l /bsd.rd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 7173390 Sep 20 19:17 /bsd.rd
# md5 /bsd.rd
MD5 (/bsd.rd) = 191559b8c5907ca34c144462366b021a
# dmesg
OpenBSD 6.0 (GENERIC) #1917: Tue Jul 26 12:48:33 MDT 2016

put it in / of a working soekris net4801 with OpenBSD 4.6 in order to
jump-upgrade the system, but it doesn't boot the 6.0 bsd.rd install image:

Welcome to OpenBSD: The proactively secure Unix-like operating system.
Please use the sendbug(1) utility to report bugs in the system.
Before reporting a bug, please try to reproduce it with the latest
version of the code. With bug reports, please try to ensure that
enough information to reproduce the problem is enclosed, and if a
known fix for it exists, include that as well.
You have new mail.

So the non-booting kernel is indeed the unaltered one from the other
i386 OpenBSD 6.0 machine, and these
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=144242763106881&w=2 hints were taken
into account.
Is a system like the soekris net4801 not supported any more? Or is there
something I can do to install the new version on it?
