A year ago this change was rather easy.
You just had to compile a OpenBSD kernel for amiga
and install it into /bsd and /netbsd.
Today this might be no longer possible.
In general the way you upgrade to newer NetBSD version
should be sufficient for installing OpenBSD.
OpenBSD still accepts the NetBSD partitions as far as i
know and allows if you like to install OpenBSD beside NetBSD in
separate partitions with different ids.
