Thank you to everyone who gave me things to try to resolve my #OpenBSD Dell Optiplex 3080 i5 not wanting to boot /bsd but would only boot /bsd.sp and bsd.rd
I tried everything from booting bsd.rd and upgrading to using doas sysupgrade -s but each upgrade failed the same. I even deleted /bsd so it remade it after an upgrade but still the same.
Finally after thinking the next step was to do a fresh install I decided to try rolling back the snapshot to the 1st May. This is not recommended but what had I to lose ?
So i entered doas sysupgrade -sf http://ftp.hostserver.de/archive/2026-05-01-0105/ and guess what ? It only boots into /bsd now and I have all my CPU's back !
Yipee ! π
Now to see if a doas sysupgrade -s does it's stuff and still boots /bsd`
OK there must be a bug somewhere as I rolled back to 1St may snapshot and booted with multicpu kernel no problems.
Then I tried to upgrade to the latest with doas sysupgrade -s and it's back to not booting the /bsd !!!!
Time to rollback to maybe the 14th may and see if that's
OK ??

Picture of our kitchen with a plate on the left holding a small stack of pancakes, to the right of that are a pack of butter and a bowl with pancake mix that has a spoon inside and a ladle leaning on the edge of the bowl from the outside. Behind the pancake mix bowl to the right is a small covered glass bowl with 3 raw eggs and to the right of that is a white bowl with one raw egg still in the shell. In front of those two egg bowls is the pan that has some pancake mix cooking inside.

MATE Terminal is visible and maximized showing a Tmux session that has Irssi running inside and showing the IRC chat. To the right of the laptop towards the back is our Ninja coffee machine station and in front of that is my white mug of coffee with milk.
boostedDecided to upgrade my #FreeBSD installation on the desktop PC this weekend, especially after pkg was having issues pulling from the latest tree last weekend. Aside from upgrading base to 15.0-RELEASE-p8, I was finally able to upgrade all of my packages with pkg since then.

Are you looking to sharpen your Shell Scripting chops? Then you may be interested in the BSDCan Shell Scripting Tutorial for Beginners and Sysadmins with Mathias Eggers.
Anyone who works with BSD and other Unix- and Linux-like systems will sooner or later have to deal with the shell and shell scripts, e.g. automation of repetitive task or starting services in /etc/rc.d. Understanding scripts and how to meaningfully extend or rewrite them is the goal of this tutorial, which is mainly designed for beginners and sysadmins.
Simple shell scripts often consist of a sequence of arbitrary shell commands executed in a specific order to achieve a particular purpose. This is where the tutorial will begin, and I will then walk participants through the other components of a script using examples:
Variables
Sourcing
Control structures
Loops
In- and output redirection
Parameters and options
Functions
Testing scripts
From the tutorial the participants will get an impression of what could be achieved with the well-equipped toolbox the shell provides and use that knowledge for creating own scripts for their projects.
Participants should bring their own machines to try out the examples. I encourage everybody to ask questions and bring examples or problems from their daily work to the tutorial to foster a vivid discussion.
I've been writing shell scripts as part of my work since I got in contact with Unix in 1993 and have been teaching shell programming to apprentices for over ten years. This tutorial will be a shortened and in regards to rc-scripts extended version of that one-week course.
https://www.bsdcan.org/.../timetable-Shell-Scripting...

This morning I decided to update my Raspberry Pi 4 to the latest patch of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. It's a UFS setup, running in read-only mode, as I mentioned in a previous post: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/05/31/freebsd-tips-and-tricks-native-ro-rootfs/
I remounted it in rw, rebooted, and started the process... halfway through, a power surge hit and everything shut down.
TIL: UFS is quite resilient to these situations, even on an SD card, and even during a freebsd-update.
