Hi, I'm trying to connect a modem to the serial port on my PC Engines Wrap1E-board and I can't seem to boot a kernel without having anything sent to the com-port.
This device doesn't have a screen controller so it uses the serial port for bios and boot messages. It seems like the bios are redirecting pc0 to com0 up until the kernel booting. There is a boot-option to disable this, but since there is no way for me to get a kernel to boot on pc0 it makes no difference. If I boots the a kernel without the PCCOMCONSOLE-option I can boot the kernel providing I set the tty to com0 in either the boot loader or /etc/boot.conf. But if I set the tty to pc0 and tries to boot it freezes just after the entry point message. I have even tried to set the tty to com1 in boot.conf to see if that made any difference, but it seems to freeze up in the same way. I need to find a way to boot a kernel without any messages on the serial-port. Thankful for any help, Rickard. ----------------------------------- Loading;..... probing: pc0 com0 pci mem[640K 127M a20=on] disk: hd0 >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.06 boot> set tty pc0 switching console to pc0 >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.06 boot> bsd booting hd0a:bsd: 14062692+352328 [52+108048+95427]=0xdf1128 entry point at 0x100120 [FREEZE] Loading;..... probing: pc0 com0 pci mem[640K 127M a20=on] disk: hd0 >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.06 boot> set tty com0 switching console to com0 >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.06 boot> stty com0 57600 com0: changing speed to 57600 baud in 5 seconds, change your terminal to match! com0: 57600 baud boot> bsd booting hd0a:bsd: 14062692+352328 [52+108048+95427]=0xdf1128 entry point at 0x100120 [ using 203900 bytes of bsd ELF symbol table ] Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
