This sounds like you booted from the bsd.rd you had already, not a fresh one that matches the system you are about to install? > I left all the sets selected (bsd bsd.rd and bsd.mp) > > After downloading I received: > > bsd.mp did not match what this bad.rd expected. > > Is there a part of the guide I am missing that may have the correct steps? > Am I doing someone obviously wrong? The message pops up when the checksums stored in bsd.rd does not match the set it is asked to install. The most likely cause is that you did not copy the new bsd.rd to / before booting. I have a few notes on upgrading at http://bsdly.blogspot.ca/2012/07/keeping-your-openbsd-system-in-trim.html (a 'works for me' guide, sort of oriented towards going snapshot to snapshot, but the steps are the same in almost all cases). *Do* remember to at least skim the upgrade notes relevant to your version, though. - Peter -- Peter N.
