The text lines are completely scrambled. I can see questions about installation stuff at the last line at the bottom, but It's hard to tell which text above belongs to this question. I attach a screenshot here that explains it much better. It might be possible to get a default install done done way by just hitting return again and again, and having a openbsd installation procedure running on real hardware next to you, so you know what you have to enter, but things like a custom configuration is not possible like this. It's basically the same as I always had. With freebsd it's even worse, and netbsd doesn't even come that far, stopping somewhere in the middle of kernel boot messages, without an error. I managed to install by setting the terminal emulation to VT100 when asked. Here it doesn't get any better when chosing vt100. I didn't use that during the install. I just enabled the serialconsole on com0 at the end of the install and then used it to access the VM on boot with 'xm console'. As said I can't post my configuration file right now, but will do as soon as I get back to the office. I think the only thing that might help would be getting the install cd giving me output on the serial console, but I didn't get that done yet (if possible at all). Henning Attachment:
