You have to make a file called boot.config containing /boot/loader -h. All this does is pass a flag to the bootloader to boot into a serial console. =20 # echo "/boot/loader -h" > boot.config I've always used just "-h" here; I'll test it and update it if necessary. You're saying that it *does* work though? Thanks for the response. Ceri --=20 It is not tinfoil, it is my new skin.
