Hello, I'd like to add a (somewhat) related question to that. Working with an IMPI card in a server, the BIOS has an option where you can keep redirecting keyboard/screen output in 3 options: - Only BIOS / BOOTLOADER / Always
The first 2 OPTIONS work and I prefer the "Until BOOTLOADER", so if a Software RAID fails, I can make it boot from the second disk (which has a different ccd config in the /etc folder). But the option always doesn't work. It looks like the blue colored screen sends out all kinds of ASCII color codes or something. I get all kinds of messed up data on the terminal (IPMItool or the software which comes with the motherboard). I've read up on this and found out I need to tell OpenBSD to redirect the console (in a boot.conf file for example), this works great. But is there a way to completely disable the ASCII output, since then I could just set the BIOS option to Always, because the current solution still has 1 problem. I need to have the IPMITool or software from the motherbord activated, so OpenBSD keeps on booting. (or rename the file to boot.conf.bak and for the time don't have console redirection, which is what I've currently done). So to shorten my question: Can you disable the color code stuff during boot time. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roman Strogin Sent: zaterdag 15 maart 2008 6:37 To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: dmesg default color Hello, while booting dmesg is in white on blue by default. How can it be changed? Thanks.
