how exactly does the serial console in the customer portal work? I've tried sending output to com0, but I'm not seeing it. Do I need to use a different device (or specify a baudrate/parity other than 8/n/1?)?
hah, hell yes, got obsd -current running.

VM within a VM?  nice
Igneous: it's just the default 1st serial port
/dev/tty00
for OpenBSD
That's actualyl pretty cool.  KVM inside KVM.
Ign: Did you get serial going on OpenBSD?  I got it going but I found that if I did lots of text it went weird and stopped giving me more
I also didn't find a way to show serial console and normal console at the same time for console messages :(
mercutio: nah, never got it working.. I was actually trying to use 'set tty com0' from the perspective of the bootloader (just because vnc access on hotel internet is super slow, heh)
but actually, it's already configured to start gettys on tty00-03, it's just not working for some reason :/
up_the_irons: when configuring a 5.1 VM, did you have to disable mpbios (or do you have a custom kernel you use)?
hmm i ended up jsut doing serial console in openbsd
but on cmmand line catching at kvm i had it going
hangon will see what i ahve
I essentially locked my self out of my vm until I realized I needed to disable that module, heh
tty00
OpenBSD/i386 (arp.meh.net.nz) (tty00)
login:
ttys:tty00      "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt220   on  secure
i tried 115200 to see if it's go faster
it didn't sem to
default is 9600
i have mpbios disabled
i'm hoping there is a KVM version upgrade sometime
older versions of KVM appear to need it
did you set "on"
i think it defaults to off

oh and you have to add secure if you want to be able to login straight as root
