Ah okay, forgot about that yeah... I've set /etc/ttys as well: tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" vt220 on insecure
That's why I get the prompt, skipped that step sorry... It's been a while back since I configured it and doing this from memory... But still if I use the boot.conf, it doesn't display the blue stuff, but does show the rest after (network settings, diskchecks etc). And the system also doesn't boot if I have the boot.conf in place, but don't listen with the ipmitool. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jussi Peltola Sent: zaterdag 15 maart 2008 16:19 To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: FW: dmesg default color On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 04:10:58PM +0100, Erwin van Maanen wrote: > Okay, let me try to be even clearer :) > > - If I set the bios to always, this results in weird data on the terminal. > (hence my first question: can I use always in the bios for impi > output, which apperently I can't) > - If I set the bios to boatloader only and openbsd in boot.conf tty to com1: > (com0 is the normal com port in this specific type of mobo it seems) > : I don't see the kernel output but DO get a login prompt after the > system is booted (so my question here is: could this be an ascii > related output/translation problem) boot.conf has nothing to do with that, it's /etc/ttys. Are you sure 19200 is the correct speed, and did you try without 'stty' at all?
