Hello, it's me again, for an end.

Me again,
Trying to play with the serial port to see if I can get it to work, I
just saw my box does not seem to care of /etc/boot.conf : when I "set

at boot, without beeing able to get OpenBSD up (seems like my computer
does not continue booting after switching to the serial console).

Hello,
I was just looking this webpage when I got your answer ; as Michael
Lucas didn't talk about this file in his talk about consoles, I though
console ports were active by default... (but I found this file in this
