Howdy folks, I've had this in my /etc/ttys since forever (near enough): ttyb "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire.9600" vt220-w on secure And I've had eeprom settings like this to match: # eeprom -a | grep put-device output-device: ttyb input-device: ttyb I upgraded to a much more recent -current (the previous stuff I was running was from last summer). The serial bits appear to have changed ... while I see the boot process over the serial line, I can no longer communicate with a getty: ... Starting inetd. Starting background file system checks in 60 seconds.

Has the serial devices changed names in the past few months? `ls /dev/tty*` shows a ttyz0 and z1 which look promising. I didn't see any mention of them in /usr/src/UPDATING though. -T -- "Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win." -- Robert Heinlein
