I read through serial communication section in the FreeBSD handbook this morning. I was able to configure the serial on one of my machines through the following steps: 1. Edit /etc/ttys a. ttyd0 "ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on insecure 2. Edit /boot/loader.rc b. In the very first line add set console=3D"comconsole" After doing this on the second machine and rebooting, I am not able to get to the serial console, video console, or SSH. There are not errors on the screen, just a blinking curser after "FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1" How can I get back into the system?
