Other than this one cpu problem, after sysupgrade at last step doing
installboot there's some problem

Location of sets? (disk http nfs or 'done') [done] done
Making all device nodes... done.
installboot: no OpenBSD partition

Failed to install bootblocks.
You will not be able to boot OpenBSD from sd0.
^Cobsdlab# reboot


and openbsd box boots with #258 kernel


Ok, I don't know what's going on, I will install new openbsd vm and see
id same thing will happen on that vm
