I am having some seemingly strange problems with 3.1-Release serial
consoles..


with all 2.2.* stable/release machines we used to build the kernels with
force_comconsole...

It seems that has gone away in favor of the flags to sio.. with 0x20 set
and the boot.config file existing I am able to get the boot: prompt on the
console but after that I am unable to get the serial port to do anything..

I have tried every possible combination of boot flags (-D, -h, ect)...

Then to make things more weird I am not able to to get a login prompt
spawned on the serial port.. I have all of the settings right in /etc/ttys
the getty is running..

I have done this all many many times under 2.2.* machines is there
something large I am missing??

Yes I have searched the handbook and list archives..

Thank You.
