Claim:
1. A completion method, comprising: running in a string into a borehole having an open passage therethrough when running in; closing off said passage through said string after said running in with an object delivered into said open passage to a seat; blocking off at least one wall access port; applying pressure to said string with said wall access port closed at a first pressure for a pressure test of said string; isolating an actuator for said at least one packer from said first pressure during said pressure test of said string; setting at least one packer associated with said at least one wall port to isolate an annular space around said string after said applying said first pressure and before opening said at least one wall port, said packer being set using a second pressure lower than said first pressure; accomplishing said setting of said at least one packer by opening access to an actuator for said packer after said first pressure application with a signal other than sustained pressure in said string such that said at least one packer can be actuated with said second pressure; opening said at least one wall port so that pressure delivered against said object on said seat is directed through said at least one wall port.
