Thanks. It's a known issue that was briefly discussed here: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=149821809527605&w=2 also: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=149821856027706&w=2 I will think about a better solution for this problem once the design of KARL has stabilized (there are further steps that are planned). For the moment, I suggest that you compute the kernel hash by hand with sha256 -h /var/db/kernel.SHA256 /bsd *after* installing the new kernels but *before* extracting the userland. After a reboot, rc(8) will do the rest of the cleanup since the hash will be correct. Once you get the 'kernel relink info' mail, reboot once more to run a unique kernel. If you want to avoid the second reboot you'll need to study reorder_kernel() in /etc/rc.
