However I find that while I see loader messages and the getty I enabled = after boot I don't get any kernel messages which does somewhat limit the = utility.. The BMC creates COM3 (/dev/cuau2) which works with getty. I modified = /boot/loader.conf like so.. boot_multicons=3D"yes" boot_serial=3D"YES" console=3D"comconsole vidconsole" comconsole_speed=3D"115200" # Disable console flags on these 2 ports hint.uart.0.flags=3D"0x00" hint.uart.1.flags=3D"0x00" # Set console flag hint.uart.2.flags=3D"0x10" Does anyone have any hints? -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
