when getting the stage 2 boot loading prompt, I also get the following message :
probing: pc0 com0 mem[639K 1023M a20=on]
disk: fd0 fd1 hd0+ hd1+
>> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.13

So, my installation sees an com port. is that because it is physically
detected ? or because it is configured in the /etc/ttys file ?
Thanks again
