Ok, I understand what the problem is and this comment triggered my memory. A while back I was experimenting with different things to harden the system a bit more. One of the things I did, obviosuly, was to set the immutable flag on /bsd. When I went to copy the new kernel over, I forgot that I had done that and ASSumed that this was the default flag. Clearly, it is not. In any event I reinstalled the original kernel with the default flags (nothing) in place and reset the securelevel back to the default of 1. I've removed the new kernel, am in the process of fetching a complete copy of the source tree and will do the upgrade to -stable once that is done. All should be ok now. After years of working with FreeBSD, this is my first attempt at an OpenBSD upgrade. The upgrade process is, in principal, the same, but the commands are a bit different. Clearly, setting immutable flags on the kernel and sycning to a temporarily borked mirror didn't help this go any easier!
