[07:44] <toddf> just found the option to set serial console support in bios on the portal. (yes, I have not logged in .. in a while)
[07:44] <toddf> awesome. now trying to find the cli option to kvm for my own proxmox servers is like hunting a needle in a haystack. my search fu is failing. anybody wanna throw me a bone on what docs I'm not finding or how exactly to do this?
[07:47] <toddf> I wonder if this chooses an alternate bios file that does serial support
[09:04] <brycec> toddf: you're not asking about https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Serial_Terminal are you?
[09:05] <brycec> Though maybe you meant the BIOS specifically, and come to think of it I'm not certain that Proxmox's stock BIOS presents a serial interface...
[09:05] <brycec> I do know that mercutio built a custom version of SeaBIOS that tweaked the boot device timeout to be longer. Wouldn't surprise me if he cut another version with serial support enabled.
[09:49] <toddf> the options I speak of in the portal are setting 0 timeout / timeout .. serial / no serial .. for bios itself
[09:49] <toddf> probably alternate bios builds
[09:51] <toddf> brycec: I'm quite aware of 'Serial_Terminal' bits and am using that + conserver on each proxmox system to log and connect to serial console
[09:52] <toddf> its just I'm starting to borrow a few ideas I've seen elsewhere (read: here) about automation, and gui point click is not automation, so automating setup of vms would be easier done if the bios presented a boot> prompt on serial for OpenBSD than if I have to signin to the web ui to launch the gui console to tell it 'set tty com0'
[09:52] <toddf> my alternate approach of course would be to rig the cd's to have 'etc/boot.conf' contain 'set tty com0' but it just seems better to not alter the iso's like that
[09:55] <toddf> specifically here is where I'm at: https://github.com/toddfries/pxcli
[09:56] <toddf> pretty hardcoded in a lot of places, but it works for me(tm) having proxmox root on zfs
[09:59] <toddf> gui is a pain doing serial console installs anyway, adding 'serial0: socket' to the conf on proxmox requires cli access anyway

[20:12] <toddf> http://bgp.he.net/AS25795 .. random link to a pretty spiffy presentation of AS# info. that is arp networks, looks pretty impressive (as it should) on that page ;-)
