Re: [sorry] How to force prompt when boot>0

2018-10-20 Thread kolargol 
yes i have read man as well before - i find OpenBSD man pages fantastic, but 
Control key do not work in my setup (USB to DB9F serial cable + mac keyboard) 
on APU2, and pressing any other key did not break boot, but spacebar did the 
job.

thanks,

Also in boot(8) ...

boot.conf processing can be skipped, and the automatic boot
cancelled, by holding down either Control key as boot starts.

[sorry] How to force prompt when boot>0

[sorry for previous mail that accidentally was signed with gpg]

Hi all.

OpenBSD6.3 i have this rather simple(?) problem with console. I am connected to 
APU2 via USB console and apparently boot timeout is set to 0 and i am unable to 
enter any commands to boot as it immediately start boot.

Let me mention I use whole disk encryption with keydisk (on USB).

How can i force prompt (or get rid of this timeout). I already set:

set timeout 10 in /etc/boot.conf,

here is log:

Booting from Hard Disk...
Using drive 0, partition 3.
Loading..
probing: pc0 com0 com1 com2 com3 mem[639K 3325M 752M a20=on]
disk: hd0+ hd1+ hd2 sr0*
>> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.34
switching console to com>> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.34
boot> 0

any help is welcome.

Thanks,
Zbyszek
