I'm not saying you didn't have problems, I am saying they had nothing to do with running GENERIC and were likely PEBKAC. It sounds like you didn't bother to enable tty00 in /etc/ttys and then decided to blame that on your kernel for some reason. Soekris machines work fine, and a default openbsd installation works fine on them. If you have a problem, ask what you are doing wrong, don't mess up a perfectly good OS installation. Clearly if you are having problems, you are not in a position where you should be running a bastardized and unsupported installation. And you certainly shouldn't be complaining about people not telling you how to run a default install, its very well documented. Adam
