Here is my patched question:
ask_which speed should $_d use \
9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 $CSPEED $pxe_console_speed
Show:
[auto] instead if [9600] (auto is value of pxe_console_speed).
If i do a echo speed: $CSPEED before ask_which, CSPEED is empty
default argument is the first argument of the list.
A better patch could be:
ask_which speed should $_d use \
9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 ${CSPEED:-}
That would be
9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 $CSPEED
in my world. ;-)
but this patch is useless without my pxe autoinstall patch, i think.
A diff is something produced by [cvs] diff -uNp, IMHO.

By adding a 5th argument to ask_which, i have seen that $CSPEED isn't
found, and in fact it's right. Before this ask_which CSPEED isn't set,
it's set after.
That analysis can't be right. When I install OpenBSD on a Soekris
with the comBIOS default serial speed of 19200, the installer prompt
offers 19200 as default.
And a quick look at install.sub shows that the call to questions()
is preceded by this:
---
CONSOLE=$(scan_dmesg '/^\([^ ]*\).*: console$/s//\1/p')
CONSOLE=${CONSOLE% }
[[ -n $CONSOLE ]] CSPEED=$(stty speed)
# Look for the serial device matching the console. If we are not
installing
# from a serial console, just find the first serial device that could be
used
# as a console. If a suitable device is found, set CDEV, CTTY, CSPEED,
CPROM.

Er, which thereby would be implied to be the preffered format for a patch.

Developing device driver for parallel lcd dispaly modules
Hello @misc, I could not resist more againist the strength of OpenBSD and PF so switched to this great OS from Linux at my network servers. Also i have to admit that OpenSmtpd is my next target. For the first, thanks to all who contributed these technologies. Here is my problem. I need to implement OpenBSD device driver for an unsupported parallel LCD display module. The vendor supplied me some information and also linux driver. I read this paper : http://www.openbsd.org/papers/opencon06-drivers/index.html But i could not clearly understand how to develop device driver code under OpenBSD. I know that OpenBSD is againist to binary blobs so i do. So should i ignore man lkm? Please tell me a fresh start point. Is there any device driver template? Any supported parallel port lcd display module's code to strip? Thanks. Denis

Are you talking about a NxM character LCD display connected to the printer port, and if so, are you using it as a proper display or do you merely need to be able to feed it some characters now and then? Rather, from the [partial lack of] information you supply, do you really need a driver, or would accessing the device through /dev/lpt0 be enough? /Alexander
Two primary OBSD partitions on a HDD
I read fdisk(8) carefully (At least I think so), but I repeatedly failed to install two OBSDS on two primary partitions of a HDD. The idea was to realize a multiboot by toogleing the boot-flag to the primary partition of the particular OBSD system I want to boot. However, I think that the install process always chooses the same primary OBSD partition for installation (the first that appears in the table?) and I have no control. /jo

To expand on Tony's comment, OpenBSD uses the fdisk(8) partition information only just enough to locate its disklabel(8). So if you want to have two complete (primary) OBSD installs on a single disk you have to *hide* them one from another. I succeeded in doing just that by using grub's hide/unhide partition feature -- it toggle the partition id of the inactive (other) partition from a6 to b6. YMMV
Re: Two primary OBSD partitions on a HDD
Hi, Before investigating further, be sure to read the FAQ about i386 disk layout and pay attention to the two very important things there: slices and partitions.
IPSec and routing of IPv6
Hi people, I am having a few problems getting routing of IPv6 over IPSec to work. I have two nodes, one is a server, one is my laptop. On the server, I have IPv6 access over a gif interface. There is a /64 routed to the server, which I want to use on my laptop. I have now set up an IPSec tunnel between my laptop and the server, with the following configuration, in /etc/ipsec.conf: # on my laptop unobtanium_v6 = 2001:470:1f0b:1d3::/64 ike esp from any to $unobtanium_v6 peer unobtanium.de \ main auth hmac-sha1 enc aes-256 \ quick auth hmac-sha1 enc aes-256 \ psk secretkey \ tag IPSEC-UNO # on the server unobtanium_v6 = 2001:470:1f0b:1d3::/64 ike passive esp from $unobtanium_v6 to any \ main auth hmac-sha1 enc aes-256 \ quick auth hmac-sha1 enc aes-256 \ psk Sahpeque2quieC8e \ tag IPSEC-UNO The link between both machines seems to be up and running. On both machines, I have configured a bridge with the link2 flag set, which according to the manpage causes IPSec traffic to be sent over the bridge. The bridges each have a vether device in them, with addresses in the subnet in the ipsec.conf. Pinging the other side of the tunnel works fine, as does other direct traffic, but only if it does not originate from the link-local address of the vether device. Using tcpdump on pflog0 with a pass log inet6 in /etc/pf.conf, does not show anything. Shouldn't traffic at least show up in pf? What did I miss? Using from any to any does not change the situation at hand. -- Gregor Best
Freetype and Fontconfig on OpenBSD
Hi there, as you can presume I new to OpenBSD (but not a newbie at all) and I like well rendered fonts and whatnot, a tool that I really love in GNU/Linux systems is _fontconfig _because It lets me tweaking fonts to the finer grain and mostly because I can replace fonts, anyway, I was surfing at http://openports.se searching for the packages freetype and fontconfig, but, I could not find the fontconfig but found freetype version 1.x which is almost a decade old, I was wondering why these packages I are not in OpenBSD ports, is it because we rarely have need for them in OpenBSD? Or is the apple's rendering patents that freetype uses? (If I'm not wrong those patents have expired). I would like to hear some thought on this. Thank you. eatg75

Or No, it's because they're in the base xenocara system, and so they won't appear in packages. e.g., which fc-list = /usr/X11R6/bin/fc-list fc-list --version fontconfig version 2.10.91 that's in the faq somewhere, OpenBSD is not debian, the base system (and X) are not packaged, they're part of the base install (for better or for worse)

What should we look before buying a laptop?
Hello, my name is Michael Paul Zamot, I'm from Costa Rica. I'm using OpenBSD since two months ago and I'm in love with it. I'm planning buying a laptop, perhaps a screen of 11 or 12 inches. I would like to know if you know about a compatible model, under $400. What should I look before buying one? Any recommendations? With recent addition of AMD KMS and Intel KMS I don't think video would be an issue. Thanks!
