Description

• Packer can't communicate with an OpenBSD VM because the agent type isn't set to ISA:

• Current available option (agent) handle only boolean.

Use Case(s)

Add an option to choose the agent type. Or upgrade the agent option to handle the type.

• OpenBSD system works with ISA
• VM creation by Packer have to permit to select the agent type (builder.pkr.hcl)
• This way Packer can send signals and retrieve informations from an OpenBSD system as it does for other systems working with virtIO
