I have a pc running 2.27 that does this which allow us to remotely take care of fsck types of problems. On 3.1, I have redirected the console to the serial port but do not get control until the Login prompt. How can I get the console output to the serial port before this, like right after the "boot" prompt? Thanks, Tony _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
