This was implemented some time ago and is included in 1.99~rc2. Please upgrade to bzr before doing any developpement and consult the team before starting anything big.

For a project I am working on, I needed to be able to boot OpenBSD from a FAT partition (not supported by OpenBSD bootloader) and pass in a boot parameter to specify a serial port as the console device.
This is not implemented for version 1.98 of GRUB, so I implemented it myself. This is a very useful feature that I would like to suggest be included in future revisions. Attached is a patch that implements a new boot parameter (--tty=comX) for the kopenbsd command. It has worked in all of my tests. Feel free to contact me with further questions.
