Could I be booting the system had I said yes (without actually using the port,
again, I would use ssh)?
If so, can I change this after installation?
If not, is there anything I can do to be able to boot without the graphics card?
Thank you.
Not 100% sure if this answers you question, but I boot a qemu instance
of OpenBSD/amd64 6.6 with serial console enabled:
-daemonize -display none -nodefaults \
-serial mon:telnet:127.0.0.1:6666,server,nowait \
and vga driver disabled:
- vga none -nodefaults \
And then I have this in boot.conf
$ cat /etc/boot.conf
stty com0 9600
set tty com0
and ttys:
$ grep tty00 /etc/ttys
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
I can then access the VM via either telnet (to the virtualized serial
console) or ssh.
