Well, don't know what you exactely mean by 'too unreadable'.
Not easy to explain. 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).
