Hi folks,

Short question: Is there some magic in /etc/boot.conf I could
use to reset the terminal before booting?

Here is the problem:

AFAICS the BIOS in my Supermicro board switches to black chars
on a black background before disabling console redirection and
handing off control to the OpenBSD boot process :-(. (Using
"script" I captured console output: The control sequence sent by
the BIOS is

        ^[[0;30;40m

if you are interested. 30 and 40 mean black foreground and
background colors.)

As a workaround I had set boot.conf to

        set timeout 30
        stty com0 9600
        set tty com0
        echo ^[[0;30;47m
        boot

, but without luck.


Regards

Harri
