-There is no upgrade to release 2.0 for the OpenBSD/mac68k architecture.
-It is hoped that there will be a good upgrade procedure for future
-releases. Please feel free to volunteer to help replace these
-installation tools.
+To upgrade to OpenBSD 2.1 from a previous version, you should follow the
+instructions on installing the system beginning with using the MacBSD
+Install Utility. All you need do is copy each of the distribution sets in
+over your current system from the MacOS.
+
+However, you should not copy the etc21.tar.gz file into the system.
+Instead, download it while running OpenBSD and put it in /tmp or some other
+harmless place and unpack it with a command like 'tar zxvf etc21.tar.gz'.
+You will then have an etc directory with current system configuration files
+in it. Use this to carefully upgrade your files in the running /etc and
+reboot the system. Also, it is hihgly recommended that when upgrading your
+kernel binary (/bsd) you backup the old, working kernel and extract
+bsd21.tar.gz into / only from OpenBSD.
