ok...
i've followed the instructions per the handbook for setting
up a headless box with serial console. i keep running
into the same problem. i see the box boot (via the serial link),
and all relevant kernel messages are displayed via the serial link;
but i never get a login prompt. it's as if only kernel messages are being
redirected to the serial link and i don't really have a console.
i tried forcing the serial port to be console via by adding
0x30 to its flags in the kernel config and still the same results.
i've also played with all imagineable combinations of -P -D and -h
in /boot.config
help?
thanks in advance.
