I just hooked up a Digi TS4 to my Alix 2D13 so I can do some upgrades (in case I pooch it and need a console; they're pretty cheap on ebay (I actually bought a TS2 but got a TS4)). Have another one hooked up to a Sun as well. But that's incoming, not outgoing. If you want the device's serial port to appear as a serial port on an OpenBSD box (i.e., /dev/...) you'll need some sort of driver. Probably not THAT hard, but. . . why? You can just SSH or Telnet to a port on the server, and you're talking to the serial port. Unless you have an app that expects a serial port device, there's no issue.

CD/DVD CDROM support
I have run into a most peculiar phenomenon, that it appears that the CDrom driver support has dropped from the install CDs, apparently as of about version 5. This is not an old board, but admittedly ATAPI CDs are. I can boot all the images from 4.9release thru 5.1snap (today's) but only 4.9 shows any evidence of the CD after booting and in the rest CDROM is not an option for install media and there's no evidence of the device in the dmesgs, either. the sysctls after booting each cd: kern.osrelease=4.9 hw.machine=amd64 hw.model=AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 840 Processor hw.product=M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 hw.disknames=cd0:,sd0:,wd0:e09436d04e1d70c4,rd0:2870906e5854e337,sd1:0e7d30fe615c49b0 hw.ncpufound=4 kern.osrelease=5.0 hw.machine=amd64 hw.model=AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 840 Processor hw.product=M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 hw.disknames=sd0:,wd0:e09436d04e1d70c4,rd0:efa10dd049a97542 hw.ncpufound=4 kern.osrelease=5.0 hw.machine=amd64 hw.model=AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 840 Processor hw.product=M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 hw.disknames=sd0:,wd0:e09436d04e1d70c4,rd0:10f77ef34d162647,sd1:0e7d30fe615c49b0 hw.ncpufound=4 kern.osrelease=5.1 hw.machine=amd64 hw.model=AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 840 Processor hw.product=M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 hw.disknames=sd0:,wd0:e09436d04e1d70c4,rd0:7c8ac10ea613493f,sd1:0e7d30fe615c49b0 hw.ncpufound=4 And, following, the dmesg output for these same install media.

Re: CD/DVD CDROM support
I found USB is easy with a thumbdrive big enough to hold the files, or there is pxe which is probably easier if you can control the DHCP on the network. My manual process for thumbdrive involved: Assume thumb is empty, otherwise insert to system and run. Also make sure you know the dev name from insert message (this example it is sd0): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0a bs=32k This will zero the drive out. Then run: fdisk i /dev/rsd0c then y to overwrite and save MBR. Then edit disklabel: disklabel E /dev/rsd0c then a take all defaults, then w and finally q just like old times! Then create the FS: newfs /dev/rsd0a Now mount: mount /dev/sd0a /mnt/thumb and mount /dev/cd0a /mnt/cd Copy CD to thumb: cp r /mnt/cd/* /mnt/thumb/ and cp /usr/mdec/boot /mnt/thumb/ BOOT VOODOO: /usr/mdec/installboot /mnt/thumb/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot sd0 On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 6:12 PM, Duncan Patton a Campbell campb...@neotext.ca wrote: I have run into a most peculiar phenomenon, that it appears that the CDrom driver support has dropped from the install CDs, apparently as of about version 5.
