um... bsd.rd assumes console. If you want to do a remote upgrade, how about using the (shudder) *suggested* process in the upgradeXX.html docs? I think that process lends itself much better to scripting and automating then a roll-your-own custom kernel. Keep in mind, most of the steps in that document have to be followed with a bsd.rd upgrade, too. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade49.html Nick.
