Hi,
Console, console, where's the console?
We are attempting to use FreeBSD 4.2-RC2 on an
AlphaServer 2000 4/233 and are running into trouble
with the console device.
When we boot from the CD, it comes up to the boot
prompt on the console where we tell it to boot from
the cd device. The cd then boots up to the following:
/stand/sysinstall running as init on serial console
These are the predefined terminal types available to
sysinstall when running stand-alone. Please choose the
closest match for your particular terminal.
1 ...................... Standard ANSI terminal.
2 ...................... VT100 or compatible terminal.
3 ...................... FreeBSD system console (color)
4 ...................... FreeBSD system console (monochrome)
5 ...................... xterm terminal emulator
Your choice: (1-5)
At this point, no keyboard input is accepted.
We then successfully installed onto an AlphaServer 1000
and moved the disks to the 2000. At this point the console
is still useless, but we can telnet into the machine and
use it...
I've included the dmesg output below. Note, on the console
after boot, but right before the useless login prompt:
Cannot open /dev/ttyv0: not such device or address
and from ls:
%ls -al /dev/ttyv0
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 21 10:02 /dev/ttyv0
So, it seems getty can't open the virtual terminal
devices. A ps -aux right after boot:
