Hi, please see... http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=143700306821021&w=2 month ago i tried to install snapshot on r630 and fc630 and i manage to do that but i was hard and painful :) it seems it works when you keep the key pressed down for one second or so - then character on the console will be shown. this works for me for idrac7 and 8 :)
