That sounds correct. > So maybe it would be a good idea to write an entry in the UEFI bootmenu. > I would love to provide a dmesg but sadly this is very dificult to get > from this crappy remote vnc console i have to use to install stuff on > the server. But i am working on getting a dmesg to you guys. Unfortunately writing such an entry isn't trivial. To do this from within the installer, we'll need to write code to call the UEFI runtime services from the OpenBSD kernel. Cheers, Mark
