• The above is a default openbsd.conf template

• And the bottom is to use the tmux as console backend instead of cu which I personally don't like.

when you are at the boot prompt

Using drive 0, partition 3.

>> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.33
boot> set tty com0

when you see the boot prompt press space or any key and type in

set tty com0 and press enter you will see a different prompt as you are now using the serial console.

and the OpenBSD should boot and a menu should appear.
