Hi misc@,
Background
I am yet another Nokia IP330 owner seeking help to put a real
OS/Firewall onto one of these devices. I have a handful of these at
my disposal, all with AMD K6-2 400MHz CPUs, 1 SDRAM bank with 256MB of
CAS2 PC100 ECC SDRAM (the other is empty), 2xdc NICs, 3xfxp NICs,
Primary IDE, 20GB ATA33 IDE drive, and 2x16550 serial ports. The 2xdc
NICs are on an independent cPCI card, but the rest is integrated.
There is also a covered RJ11 port to the right of the third onboard
NIC that seems to be used for modem connectivity, but I question its
functionality on a lower-level. There is an empty header spot on the
mainboard for floppy controller, which is detected, but no pins
connected to the solder joints (Adding a floppy header looks like a
trivial task for someone with any skill in microelectronics). USB
(uhci) is detected by FreeBSD, but there are no visually identifiable
headers. It uses an Award Modular BIOS, v4.51PG whose console is
interfaced via the first serial port using a null-modem cable. (For
archival information, a pure null-modem cable is required to see the
BIOS -- those with incorrect CTS/RTS alignment won't show the BIOS,
but will show an AT and then no output until the OS loads using the
serial port. As well, a real serial program (!Hyperterminal) that
doesn't send random garbage on device initialization is necessary.)
The Problem
When I load the generic OpenBSD 3.8 (i386) onto the factory 20GB drive
from another i386 machine, specifying the com port as its default
console, the other i386 machine boots perfectly with the correct
output. When I relocate the drive to the IP330, it cannot detect the
serial port on boot. As well, when it gets to the boot> prompt and
begins the boot process, it gets to the point where it says 'entry
point at 0x100120' and then halts indefinitely, never loading the
kernel.
Here is the attempt from latest 3.8 Snapshot, The 3.8 from the release
CD produces the same output, regardless of CD or HD boot source.

The 'machine diskinfo' command produces an output that is inconsistent
with BIOS settings for the hard drive, is this normal? I would think
this not to matter since I can't boot from the CDROM either.
Attempted Resolutions
I have tested the OpenBSD install on the other x86 to ensure that it
detects and uses the serial console as well as proper booting.
Everything works very well, and as documented.
I have tried to edit the kernel configuration for the serial ports to
match that of the bios, but had the same results.
I have also tried to edit them (address, irq, flags) to match them to
what FreeBSD 6 shows in its dmesg.
I have also tried to set them in the BIOS to match what OpenBSD wants.
I have tested different RAM.
I have tested another drive.
I have tried disabling DMA and forcing PIO modes in the BIOS.
I have tried forcing hard drive C/H/S parameters and auto detection.
I have tried setting the 'PCI IDE IRQ Map to : PCI (AUTO)' in the
PNP/PCI Configuration menu.
I have tested without the cPCI dual-NIC.
I have tried to boot using the drive as a slave instead of master on
the primary (single) IDE channel (and modifying /etc/fstab at the same
time).
I have configured and unconfigured several BIOS options (text screens
provided below)
I have tried using the second serial port for the console.
I have tried booting using 'boot -c' (this yields no additional output).
I have tried compiling a custom kernel with more debugging.
I have tried booting from CD using bsd.rd.
I have tried NOT using the serial port for a console.
I have tried reinstalling the boot blocks on the alternate x86
machine. (on that note, I would like to try booting from floppy to
reinstall the boot blocks,
but this operation is currently impossible).
I have installed FreeBSD using the same procedure and it works fine,
detecting both serial ports, using the first as its console. (dmesg
provided below)
serial clip from dmesg, note the flags 0x10 (also attempted in kernel
config in openbsd with no results)

sio0: type 16550A, console
sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0
sio1: type 16550A
---8<---
Plea for pointers/assistance
I realize that I'll be told to read the documentation (again) on
booting from console, re-installing new boot blocks, possibly reinit
the MBR, etc.. I'm not new to OpenBSD, but I could be making a silly
mistake and overlooking something extremely simple. If so, it seems
others have been making the same mistake because I repeat the results
found in the list previously. In order to debug this further by a set
of eyes more skeptical than my own, I offer a SSH connection to one of
the Nokia IP330s running FreeBSD 6. I will provide console access to
the second one via null modem from the first though I am unsure if I
can scare up a remote-power control to assist with remote rebooting of
the unit. This is not the highest-powered unit on the market, and I'm
well aware of its ranking in terms of processing power, but I still
feel it is capable of some use. I get the same results from several
units which _suggests_ that they are indeed operating normally (read:
aren't defective). I apologize in advance for the linewrap as I've
tried to cut it down to 72 chars/line; unfortunately, ASCII doesn't
always behave as advertised for me.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
