second reply, after checking the BIOS settings.

Logically, I can't type in "set tty com0". If I set this parameter to enabled, I can see the OpenBSD pxeboot and can type in stuff like "set tty com0". But as mentioned earlier, the command is returned with "com0 console not present". Damn... set tty com0 --> "switching console to com0, com0 console not present" Any more ideas? The server is remote, so I only have remote serial console and remote power. No KVM (and frankly, I don't want to have KVM for Unix systems anyway) ./Marian iD8DBQFE9ZUBgAq87Uq5FMsRAgL0AJsHvg5krFRWaP3NaCDM10DiTxBHdwCdG0xp r/C4VluNfZXvjcRmMwSUXdQ= =K/a1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
