Take a look around the mirrors. Some of them (such as ftp.eu.openbsd.org) have past releases quite some way back, such as https://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.6/ Download whatever format is appropriate for the installer, run upgrade from there until you get to a point where you can point /etc/installurl to a mirror or CDN that will have the release you will be sysupgrading to. Just go one release at the time, you should be fine. - Peter -- Peter N. M.
