Hi all, this could be useful information to those who are using openbsd on vmware.
while testing jan@ vmx LRO diffs, openbsd machine panic. I've sent him few screenshots and those screenshots are awful. Good thing is that vmware have virtual serial port https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-vm-administration/GUID-ACADB450-85A6-4F6E-9269-F11DC71D2564.html I've used 1) - Right-click a virtual machine in the inventory and select Edit Settings 2) - On the Virtual Hardware tab, Add other device, expand Serial port, and select a connection type "Use named pipe" On openbsd box Serial port 1 use named pipe pipe name - cons1 Near End - Server Far End - A virtual machine On linux box Serial port 1 use named pipe pipe name - cons1 Near End - Client Far End - A virtual machine On openbsd box you will see com0 in dmesg and /etc/boot.conf stty com0 115200 set tty com0 /etc/ttys tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt220 on secure On linux box install minicom and configure it for ttyS0 with default connections settings I'm not big vmware user, but this is cool :)
