There is a quirk in the OpenBSD installer where the user is not prompted to input HTTP proxy information unless the source type http is given for the location of the sets. Indeed, looking through install.sub, the collection of proxy information is done in install_http().
The side effect of this is proxy information is not added to rc.firsttime unless http was chosen as the install type. So for common scenarios where: 1. The system is located behind a proxy 2. Sets were obtained locally, e.g. from install77.iso or install77.img fw_update and syspatch will fail on the reboot and must be re-run manually after proxy variables are hand-set. It makes more sense to me if the proxy question was asked independent of the sets location chosen, as the variable is propagated to rc.firsttime in finish_up(). This check is always run regardless of the sets location. Regards Lloyd
