Re: Can I boot without GPU ("headless")?

To Greg Thomas <get.misc.openbsd () gmail ! com>:

Ok, one final question: Is there a way to make the boot process wait 5 seconds for commands in the vga+keyboard phase but when "set tty com0" then load the kernel automatically?

As a little test, I wrote in my personal computer's boot prompt "set tty pc0", it "switches to pc0" (it was already there, but shows again the "OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT X.XX" message) and it waits indefinitely for commands.

If this happens in the ones with the serial port after "set tty com0", then I assume it would wait there indefinitely too.

Thank you in advance.
