Hi.

I posted to bugs@ earlier, but just found that diffs can be sent here, 
so I'm shooting my shot in attempt to patch 
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade79.html by doing:

diff --git a/faq/upgrade79.html b/faq/upgrade79.html
index 4f5e4cc91..9b2055a7a 100644
--- a/faq/upgrade79.html
+++ b/faq/upgrade79.html
@@ -352,7 +352,7 @@ unattended or interactive upgrade process is not 
possible.

    # cd /etc
-  # ifconfig trunk0 | awk '/lladdr/ { print "lladdr $2" } > hostname.aggr0
+  # ifconfig trunk0 | awk '/lladdr/ { print "lladdr " $2 }' > 
hostname.aggr0
    # cat hostname.trunk0 >> hostname.aggr0
    # echo up >> hostname.aggr0
    # rm hostname.trunk0<!--


This should fix two syntax errors in the `awk` example.

Have a great day,
