[Soekris] Cannot boot 4501 from CF

[Jeff Powell]

Doh!
Of course that was the problem.  It's working perfectly now as a nice
little filtering bridge.

Thanks!

Jeff

You probably need to tell the kernel to use the serial port as a
console. at the boot> prompt, try this:

set tty com0
stty com0 19200

You can configure the OpenBSD kernel without wscons and with serial
console support, check out Henric's page at
