| Diana Eichert | Re: OpenBSD serial terminal binary programs
sure you can, but the hardware boot ROM has to support it. I ran most of
my non-intel systems headless for years. If you're running i386/amd64
boxes a lot have a BIOS setting called console "redirection" or something
similar. While it works it's no where near as friendly as the non-intel
workstation/server ROM monitors. However as more and more intel/amd boxes
showed up in lights out data centers the server manufactures started
supporting real remote management solutions.
| May 11, 7:17 am 2007 |

Fortunately this is a sparc machine, so I do not believe I will need to
manually set the BIOS. At least I hope not. When you mentioned setting
the BIOS on an i386 to do a redirection, this makes me think that this
initial step is not a headless operation. My goal is to do the entire
install etc. headless (since I am without a monitor, but have access to a
bsd laptop + serial).
I will be playing around with this tonight so I should know more soon.

Can you use cu/tip to start a session with a box with no kernel to start a

"cu/tip establishes a full-duplex connection to another machine, giving the
appearance of being logged in directly on the remote CPU."
This part leads me to believe that it should be no problem, but reading
further,
"It goes with-out saying that you must have a login on the machine (or
equivalent) to which you wish to connect."
Makes me think some sort of OS has to be present ...

You should generally be ok with sparc hardware, as long as you have
a machine on the same network segment that can serve as a boot server
to get things started. Start with diskless(8) - some of this is only
needed when running the OS with root and swap mounted over NFS and
is not necessary when you just want to boot bsd.rd to install onto
local disk.
To netboot most arch you'll be modifying /etc/{ethers,bootparams,hosts}

| May 11, 7:11 am 2007 |
| Bob Beck | Re: OpenBSD serial terminal binary programs
Typically for OpenBSD, you need to set the PC bios on an i386
machine to do console redirection at 9600 baud (8N1) until the OS boots
and *NOT* do it afterwards. This is because if it does it afterwards then
typically the bios eats com0 and you can't use it from OpenBSD for
a real serial tty.
The trick is finding the right settings in the stupid bios. and
of course since PC bios's are based on 15 years of programming
by monkeys with typewriters it can be a bit of an effort sometimes, ...

Any further amount of reading (if done) would reveal that PPTP can't
