David, Thanks for the suggestion. I'm 99% of the way there. Basically all I need to do is edit "/etc/ttys" to configure something like:
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" vt220 on secure and I'll be all set. I've discovered that I can boot into single user mode. That leaves me at the sh# shell. But I haven't had success at remounting root as read write yet. Basic commands like ls don't even work. Not doing something right. Can't get an editor to run either (it doesn't find vi). If I can't solve this I'll go the PXE route. Not quite ready to give up yet. If anything, it's a good learning process. :) Thanks, Dave -----Original Message----- From: owner-m...@openbsd.org [mailto:owner-m...@openbsd.org] On Behalf Of David Walker Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 3:07 PM To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: [SPAM]- Score (15)Re: ALIX 2 Hangs on boot at date/time Get an old PC or somesuch, run tftp and install directly onto the ALIX via ethernet.
