       I do have #openbsd as dualboot option together with #linux installed. My only problem with that is that a sysupgrade overwrites my grub and i then have to boot the linux installation once with a live-system to run a grub-install again.I wonder if it is possible to avoid this annoying little step every 6 months.

       @kinderstampfer id be quite interested in that as well because so far, i dont think ive liked a single linux distro as much as i like the openbsd install on my laptop

       @coolbean i do like openbsd very much so far. It's just that i'm still rather new to it (bit over a year now) and i'd like to have something i know as a backup.

       @kinderstampfer is it a UEFI system? if so then you can just make a backup of the grub efi files (openbsd most likely only overwrites EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi), and then place the grub one backif its legacy bios youd most likely want to take a snapshot of the MBR and restore it after the update, but i dont know how to do that on openbsd
