Even when I disable com1(3F8 irq4) in the bios
OpenBSD detects it, but it wont input/output anything
I already tried "set tty com0" and hooking my terminal to com2

What I need is a shell listening on com2 (2F8 irq3, openbsd's com1)

Try "set tty com0" in boot.conf, because it's the first functionally com
which is found by kernel when the first is missing/disabled :-).

Hi,
  Im am trying to setup a serial console on
an i386 openbsd box. The Com1 (3F8 irq4) is defective
on the machine, so it is disabled.
The com2 (2F8 irq3) works great, I tested it connecting to
a sparc serial console.

So I added "set tty com1" in /etc/boot.conf
and I enabled the console in /etc/ttys :
console "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on insecure

I dont really cares if the kernel boot messages doesnt appear
on the serial port, I just want a shell to listen there

When I boot the OpenBSD box with a terminal hooked to it,
I get the very first line after the boot prompt, something
like "loading /bsd 283948+23425" I dont remember exactly,
then the output stops, But I am able to type..

Is it possible to use com1 ?
