How difficult would it be to get the Wacom Graphire (it says ET-0405-U on
the bottom of my tablet) to work with the uwacom driver which claims to
only support the CTL-490?
When I plug the tablet in I get this in my console:

Sure. Copy and paste as root:

printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec /usr/bin/login -f $*\n' > /usr/local/bin/quicklogin
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/quicklogin

Please, I have had this problem for several versions now and it still isn't
working right.
I have this on all three of my servers:
echo boot > /etc/boot.conf
I have this boot.conf because openbsd fails to boot (on all three servers)
because it hangs on the boot> prompt because of some ghost input

I take it to mean the same thing.)
sysupgrade(8) says:
"The bootloader will automatically choose /bsd.upgrade"
I'm either missing something or one of these statements doesn't seem to be
entirely true. I feel stuck with no options.

Brian, that doesn't work. I tried that already before. It seems to stop at

I figured out the issue. I need to compile efiboot separately.
# cd /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/stand/efiboot/
# make
# make install
...
This did the trick.

Thank you, I did as you suggested and I was able to narrow down the issue
to this line of code in /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/stand/efiboot/efiboot.c:
EFI_CALL(ST->RuntimeServices->GetTime, &t, NULL);

boot(8) man page says:
"boot.conf processing can be skipped, and the automatic boot cancelled, by
holding down either Control key as boot starts."
I hold the ctrl key and boot still runs my boot.conf.
Is anyone else also having this issue?
# uname -a

I guess this would explain it.
/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/stand/efiboot/efiboot.c:

}
Any reason for this?

If I set tty com0 then bsd.rd boots fine. If I have a monitor plugged in
bsd.rd boots fine. If I don't have a monitor and I don't direct tty to com0
then bsd.rd reboots my machine after a few seconds.
Any tips on how I can inspect what is going on here?

Here are some leftover references to xman I found after the upgrade to 6.6.

I was surprised that `server "default"` didn't act like I expected. In this
example I expected `test1` to get 200 and everything else to get 404 but
this is not the case. In this example server "test1" actually catches all:
localhost, test1, and test2 will get code 200.

you may have to compile your own bootloader. you just need someone to give

How does this sound?
A specified option may be written inside curly brackets in order to specify
a block of one or more specified options.

On an amd64 running OpenBSD 6.4 in the console:

I am on OpenBSD 6.4 amd64 also getting this error message. It seems to be

httpd uses the configuration processor that relayd uses so I was curious to
see how this block of sub options were explained in relayd.conf(5) and
interestingly enough this is not explained there either but there are
examples of the multiple option block being used. One thing I learned from
relayd.
Something else that should be considered is to enter a new term
"option_block" into the syntax specification, so instead of this:
connection option
directory option
hsts [option]
[no] log [option]
request option
tcp option
tls option
We now write the syntax as:
connection option|option_block

I tried starting a temporary httpd server on port 8080 as a user to serve

I would think there would be value in letting httpd be run by standard
