Description: | |
If you ever get your hands on an APU board from PCEngines and that you | |
have an issue like this when trying to boot OpenBSD: | |
```error message at boot | |
Entry point at 0xffffffff8100100 | |
``` | |
There is a simple solution explained by Mischa on the [email protected] | |
mailing list in 2020. | |

I'll copy the reply here in case the archives get lost. When you get | |
the OpenBSD boot prompt, type the following commands to tell about the | |
serial port. | |
```boot commands | |
stty com0 115200 | |
set tty com0 | |
boot | |
``` | |
And you are done! During the installation process you will be asked | |
about serial devices to use but the default offered will match what you | |
set at boot. |
