Yes this is correct. To enable the serial console on a 2100a you must set the console setting. I've read all about it but so far had no need to use it as all previous BSD's I have played with on it have been fine. It was just sitting here dead for a few months but I finally found time to set it all up. (I had to strip it to get it up the stairs) In the mean time I've read most of the official DEC/Compaq release info on it.
