OK, these #Protectli systems are getting on my nerves. Can anyone suggest a reason why they would not cold boot into #OpenBSD unless the serial console cable is connected *and* live (i.e. I actually connect both ends of the cable)? They reboot fine, but cold boot hangs until I connect a serial cable. The Protectli runs Coreboot and is set to use the serial console.

    @cynicalsecurity@bsd.network I have VP2410 and it wasn't cooperating with OpenBSD under Coreboot until I added an HDMI plug that simulates a monitor. Hope it helps.
