I am still having mixed results using a serial terminal as the console. I have successfully built a kernel that sends its booting messages to the serial terminal, but I have not been able to get the bootstrap code to print to the terminal. I have the following lines in my make.conf, BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x2F8 BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= 19200 And I know they do work to some degree, since I get the harware discovery messages to the terminal. I have, % cat /boot.config -D Which should cause messages to pour to both the serial console and the VGA, and the kernel does print on both. I have gone to /usr/src/sys/boot/i386 and built new boot[012] and installed them to /boot, then, to be safe, I, # disklabel -B wd0s1 # disklabel -B wd0s2 Even though slice 2 is the root partition. I reboot and the, No keyboard found >> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 640/7168 k of memory, serial console Boot default: 0:wd(0,a)kernel boot: Prompt still goes to the VGA and not the serial console. I even went through and rebuilt /boot/loader. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help. -- Crist J.
