During a default OpenBSD installation, which filesystem is created by default for the root partition?

FFS (Berkeley Fast File System)

A technician is installing NetBSD on a legacy server with a single 40 GB disk. The technician wants to use the default installer options and needs to ensure the system can boot after installation. During the installation, the technician reaches the 'Select a boot disk' prompt. What should the technician do to complete the bootloader setup correctly?

Skip the bootloader installation and rely on the BIOS to boot the kernel directly.

Select the first partition (e.g., wd0a) instead of the whole disk for bootloader installation.

Select the disk (e.g., wd0) and confirm the installation of the bootloader on that disk.

Choose 'No' when asked to install the bootloader, then manually copy the bootloader files to the root filesystem.

An OpenBSD 7.3 server needs to be upgraded to 7.4. The administrator wants to use the official binary upgrade method but needs to ensure that the upgrade does not break the server's network configuration. What should the administrator do?

Run 'sysupgrade' and assume the network configuration is preserved automatically.

Boot from the bsd.rd ramdisk kernel and select the upgrade option, which preserves network configuration.

Run 'sysupgrade' and then review and update the network configuration in /etc/hostname.* if needed.

Run 'pkg_add -u' to update packages and then reboot without upgrading the base system.
