| 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. |
