Hello.
I finally registered but i am not sure I understand the response or if it even applys to my situation.
Here is what they wrote.
Do you actually need keyboard?
I haven't tried it with X9 but I've just setup some X10 (A1SAi) with
serial-over-lan (console redirect on com1, redirect after POST -> boot
loader), it's much easier to work with than the java-plus-binary-module
rubbish.
As far as the OpenBSD side goes, if you 'stty com1 115200' and 'set tty com1'
in the boot loader when you install, the installer will prompt you to run
a console on that port automatically - otherwise if you've already installed,
you can add the stty/set lines to /etc/boot.conf and run a getty on tty01
in /etc/ttys.
Connect with "ipmitool -I lanplus -H hostname -U ADMIN -P ADMIN sol activate".
Private network on the management lan port of course, *never* expose crappy
BMC hardware to the internet! I run conserver on a host with a private network
to BMCs, which runs the above command to connect to the consoles, which logs
and manages access to them (and I recently added some config snippets for
this to the port in -current).
