Hi all,

It works for me. When installing OpenBSD on Soekris by using minicom and
null-modem, you must commit the console like this:

Change the default console to com0? [no] *yes*

If you follow the traditional openbsd installation, the first boot will
freeze during reboot procedure.

Hope it may help.
