I recently reinstalled my main laptop (which was at 6.5-stable/amd64)
with 6.6/amd64. Almost everything "just worked", and the things that
didn't were 3rd-party stuff not from OpenBSD. A big thank-you to everyone!
And... a specific itch-you-scratched-very-nicely I'd like to praise:
For the past few years I've usually (re)installed OpenBSD by burning a
boot DVD and then booting that. But this time I found myself with the
combination of a broken built-in cd/dvd drive, and a computer which didn't
seem to want to boot from USB even after fiddling with bios settings.
Being able to copy the new (6.6) bsd.rd to an existing filesystem on the
(running) old OpenBSD system, then boot that bsd.rd to install, was
really really nice. Thank you!
