Hi all,

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get a serial text console via the "remote serial console" 
in the ilo web-frontend on a Dl 380G5 with iLO2.
Its my first time with HP and serial console. Sorry for the stupid questions.
Is there a howto/manual how to do that for freebsd?
What's the difference between the UART Ports and the iLO 2 Virtual Service Port?
Do I really have to modify "loader.conf and device.hints" to match the values for
"iLO 2 Virtual Serial Port      COM2 0x2F8 IRQ 3"
and build a custom boot binary?
I tried that and now see the bootmessages until the network interface gets loaded. and then all 
output stops.
Theoretically I should be able to connect to she iLO Card via ssh an then type "VSP" and I should be 
presentetd a fully funktional console to work with, or am I misunderstanding something there?


Thanks a lot

George
