Hi,
You are right, that is a reasonable requirement.
This system was installed in a normal way. Later, a second disk was added.
A smaller, faster storage device for the OS with a larger, not so fast
device for data (including home) doesn't seem that absurd to me. Maybe a
bit old school.
That the device names changed, that the disk I added later became sd0, is
(I assume) related to how OpenBSD probes/manages the hardware. That
hasn't caused me any issues at all except for, perhaps, this one problem
of confusing sysupgrade. But it looks as if I have a solution for that
now, or as you suggest, I can do upgrades manually, so all good here.
Thanks for the support.
Cheers,
Robb.
