Re: [Soekris] PXE Installation of OpenBSD 4.2 on Soekris 4801
Hi Lars, try this: - if the systems appears to hang after a message like: booting hd0a:/bsd.rd 4464500+838332 [58+204240+181750]=0x56cfd0 entry point at 0x100120 - .. then you have either set the wrong COM port after the stty command in boot.conf (what Soekris calls COM1 is com0 in OpenBSD!), or the boot commands in boot.conf may be the wrong order. Note that boot.conf is a command file, not a configuration file. (from my personal howto @ http://stsx.xs4all.nl/www.stsx.org/openbsd/obsd-bootsoekris.txt. I also found a very useful txt here, the other day: http://www.packetwatch.net/documents/guides/openbsd/soekris.php).

Doesn't look like you chose to set the default console to your serial port. You'll need to re-install and make sure to choose that option during setup.

Re: [Soekris] PXE Installation of OpenBSD 4.2 on Soekris 4801
at the boot prompt, you need to use the following commands to enable the serial terminal: set tty com0 stty com0 19200 and in /etc/ttys, tty00 should look like this: tty00 /usr/libexec/getty std.19200 vt100 on secure Lars Nood??n [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm working with a new Soekris 4801 w/256MB RAM and wonder about getting OpenBSD installed so that the system boots.

The machine will boot fine, it justs takes a while to calculate the ssh-keys at the first boot.
