Follow-up: OpenBSD routers on AliExpress mini PCs

I got lots of replies to the last post showing the little OpenBSD internet gateway setup (super interesting; thanks!). Here’s more info and pictures:

Something I’ve been meaning to share for years now.

It might be a jumper on the board. Mine (Q770G4) boots on power, if I can organise some downtime with the family I’ll take a look at it (set it up ages ago so can’t remember).

Edit: CAB approval was easier than I expected! Mine is in the BIOS, under Chipset > PCH-IO Configuration, set State After G3 to Power On.

Yeah I also tried moving the jumper for the power pins on the mobo but all that accomplished was a long press, which caused it to turn on and then off again.

I’ll scroll through the bios again but I’m pretty sure I looked at every menu and submenu. 🤷‍♂️
