Hi Lars, try this:
- if the systems appears to hang after a message like: booting hd0a:/bsd.rd 4464500+838332 [58+204240+181750]=0x56cfd0 entry point at 0x100120 - .. then you have either set the wrong COM port after the "stty" command in boot.conf (what Soekris calls COM1 is com0 in OpenBSD!), or the boot commands in boot.conf may be the wrong order. Note that boot.conf is a command file, not a configuration file. (from my personal howto @ http://stsx.xs4all.nl/www.stsx.org/openbsd/obsd-bootsoekris.txt. I also found a very useful txt here, the other day: http://www.packetwatch.net/documents/guides/openbsd/soekris.php).
