I am not able to upgrade using bsd.rd on my VIA C3 system.
Booting the i386 6.2 bsd.rd progresses to the "npx0 ..." line.
After a short moment the system reboots and that's the end of the story.
I did check the bsd.rd using signify and it checked out all right:
$ signify -C -p /etc/signify/openbsd-62-base.pub -x SHA256.sig bsd.rd
Signature Verified
bsd.rd: OK
I also have a USB stick with OpenBSD for i386 on it.
I upgraded that to 6.2 on another machine and tried to boot it on my VIA
system ... this works ! (both for bsd and bsd.sp)
I'm not sure what to look at and what's so different between the ramdisk
kernel and an ordinary kernel, so if this is of interest hopefully
someone can give me a pointer.
Here are the dmesg.boot for 6.1, and a diff against one of a GENERIC 6.2
kernel:
