I have just installed OpenBSD 3.9 on a net4511. My root partition is
read-only, and I have a tarball unzipped into an mfs partition for /var upon
boot. /dev/ttyp00-01 and /dev/ptyp00-01 are symlinked to /var/dev so that
they are r/w. At the login prompt over the serial console I am able to log
in and access the system with minicom under linux or hyperterminal on
windows, however I am not able to input anything before then. Initially when
"boot>" is displayed, if I try to input "boot -s" to enter single user mode
"b" is the only character that actually gets entered. After that they system
seems to freeze and not respond to anything else that I send it. What seems
odd to me is that if I try to access the same machine with another OpenBSD
box with the command "cu -l /dev/cua00 -s 9600," I am able to enter the full
"boot -s" and get to single user mode without any problems.
I have the lines:
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
in /etc/ttys, although I don't believe it is far enough in the boot process
to matter. I don't understand why cu under OpenBSD would work while minicom
or hyperterminal wouldn't under the same circumstances.
Isn't the default speed of serial console on the net4511 19200? or have
you changed it in the bios?
