Re: OpenBSD 5.6 on a 4801?

Dear all, 

This issue remembers me some dark hours in the frozen server room... . To solve it:

During the installation :
At the question : "Change the default console to com0? [no]" 
Say [YES] and set the Com0  at to tty0 and at 9600 bauds (as your convenience). 
It seems that force the OS to keep the serial port to be a video console port at the next reboot.

Best regards
