vmd(8) safely shutdown when stopping vmd and also synchronize/update
their rtc's if you suspend/hibernate and then resume the host machine.
Not to be confused with

Are you also running a -current kernel? vmm(4) is in the OpenBSD
kernel...vmd(8) is in base.

provide the caching dns resolver. There are numerous blog posts online
about how to configure unbound(8) for this, including on OpenBSD.

I've been experimenting with implementing something like vmmci(4) for
Linux guests. It's started to prove useful to myself so maybe others
will benefit, even though there are currently some caveats[1].

I can confirm that on 6.2-current, you can reboot an Alpine 3.7.0 guest

Have you tried using rEFInd for dual or triple-booting?
http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/index.html
I use it to dual-boot macOS and OpenBSD on multiple systems. The order
I follow during upgrades or installs:
1) Install or upgrade macOS first because it will overwrite rEFInd if present
2) Boot in

Make sure you’re using the -Dsnap flag on pkg_add and pkg_info. Keep installurl
set to the snapshots directory of the mirror.

ax0n,
Is that a model with both integrated Intel gpu and dedicated Radeon
gpu? Maybe look at drm(4) and try removing the radeon driver since the
intel one should work fine.
The intel drivers work great on my early-2015 MBP (i5 Broadwell), but
then again it doesn't have any dedicated graphics.

What command and arguments are you using to start the Alpine vm and
which Alpine version are you using? You should at least get the
"boot:" prompt via syslinux when attached via the serial console.
Well this is embarrassing. Let's just say "console=ttyS0,115200" is
not the same as "console=/dev/ttyS0,115200".
Definitely user error. Sorry, Mike!

If anyone else has a MacBook Pro 12,1 model with i5-5257U CPU, I'm
curious if they too have the problem.

I'm a wee bit in over my head at this point, but figured I'd share the
latest. I'm honestly not sure if this is an issue with Alpine, but I
think if I can get it to work with a serial console in QEMU then it's
possibly a deficiency in VMD/SeaBIOS.

My dmesg output is attached since it's longer.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated! My current plan is
to wait a few days and try another snapshot. In the mean time I may
dig into the login process for Alpine and see if I can better
understand what it tries to do.
Thanks,
