Looks like the kernel doesn't switch to the serial console. If you boot from the network, make sure that you have an etc/boot.conf file on the TFTP server. Also, make sure that you use the 5.5 pxeboot and not an old one, because... > i've also booted the machines to their current openbsd install, > downloaded the bsd.rd file locally, rebooted, and attempted to boot > the new bsd.rd from the boot prompt. i get the same thing doing > that, excepting for the tftp: blurb. I vaguely remember that at some point there was a change that requires a new boot(8), otherwise a serial console won't be set correctly with a new kernel. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
