I did the upgrade by booting miniroot25.fs from /sbus/esp/sd@0,0:b and
using the tar-gzipped sets from /usr/src/openbsd/2.5/sparc, a mounted
disk partition.

The only two errors I got on upgrade were from the xshare and xserv
upgrade sets that complained they could not erase the existing
directories, and subsequently wrote over them anyways.  I did not
think these were serious errors and didn't think they would have any
bearing on the problems I was encountering.

Do you still recommend re-doing the upgrade?
