    Hello,
    I have had OpenBSD running under Parallels since OpenBSD 7.5 (console only, which is fine since it acts as a router/firewall for all my other virtual machines) and it's been great even though not officially supported.
    Unfortunately this all changed when I moved from 26.1.2 to 26.2.0; OpenBSD now stops at the boot> prompt (after saying it sees sd0 and apparently picks up the "set tty fb0" I have configured in /etc/boot.conf.
    Would be great if this could be fixed so I can get back to running a mini datacenter on the desktop with an updated Parallels version ..

    I just now reverted back to 26.1.2 and it works again, so I've got a functioning setup but would be great to be on the latest version of Parallels as I think there may be some fixes related to "dead zones" on the Linux desktop?
