Issue #20: SOEKRIS 4801 boots flashboot with OpenBSD 5.3, but I never see a login prompt
Hello, I posted this a couple days ago: https://github.com/openbsd/flashboot/issues/20 Summary: no login prompt on the serial console of a SOEKRIS net4801 with flashboot/OpenBSD 5.3. Boots fine to single user mode. I suspect a pty problem (permissions, perhaps), but have no evidence to back that up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, -John

I''m coming back to flashboot/OpenBSD after a 4+ year hiatus, and it seems that some cobwebs have accumulated, upstairs. Onward... -John

If not, please submit a change request. jakob
