I now have a successfully upgraded OpenBSD 6.5 system, but it should have been easier. Selecting upgrade after running install65.fs and miniroot65.fs from a USB drive left me with 6.4. I had to download and copy a 6.5 bsd.rd into my / and use that to boot and install.

After a kernel panic yesterday, today I hooked up the OpenBSD 6.4 drive and my HP Pavilion g6 laptop booted with no trouble. Time for the 6.5 upgrade.

Even though I used it a few days ago, yesterday my OpenBSD 6.4 laptop wouldn't boot. I wanted to upgrade to 6.5, but a kernel panic is getting in the way.
