Is it still necessary to do the serial console procedure to install it on the RaspberryPi? If that's the case does anyone know why I can do a simple `dd` with a FreeBSD image to the SD card and boot the RaspberryPi but not with an OpenBSD image? I tried once OpenBSD in my laptop and was extremely happy with with it. Then for some reason that I can't remember I switched to FreeBSD which also makes me very happy.

I couldn't connect to the pi using the serial console. Linux detects it and it gets logged in dmesg but the telnet doesn't seem to work. It could be that I have a faulty cable. Oh it's on an rpi3 . Maybe the serial connection only works on 4? The documentation doesn't say.

  Er, serial and telnet are very different things; what exactly are you doing?

    Oh sorry I meant `screen` Basically these instructions: https://dev.to/spacial/installing-openbsd-7-on-raspberry-pi-3-1f98 https://dev.to/spacial/installing-openbsd-7-on-raspberry-pi-... But... This was a while ago. It looks like the instructions for OpenBSD have changed? https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html Maybe I'll try again soon...
