custom release, serial console as default?

[Chad M Stewart <cms_(_at_)_balius_(_dot_)_com>]

I'm working on creating what I'm calling quickstart for obsd, similar 
to jumpstart for Solaris or kickstart for RedHat Linux.  I'm at the 
point of having a script that finds all network interfaces on boot, 
then looks for first with status active, and then tries to configure it 
via dhcp, loops until all 3 of those conditions are positive.  Then 
this script tries to download the rest of the process, again looping 
until true.

What I would really like is to have the console be on the serial port.  
Sure I can type 'set tty com0' at the boot> prompt, but this is a hands 
off automated install.  I don't have a lot of knowledge of about the 
whole make release process.  I am wondering how do I get an 
/etc/boot.conf file to exist in the bsd kernel image that is used when 
a release is made?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.


Regards,
Chad
