Right now, I am testing my equipment by using a notebook PC with FreeBSD as the machine running the console and my desktop FreeBSD machine as the terminal running tip(1). On the notebook that is running the console, I edited /etc/ttys by just changing the one line, ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure I reboot the machine and do a, ok boot -h To boot to the serial console. On the terminal machine, all I do is use the default /etc/remote, # tip -9600 cuaa0c And watch... and watch the pages and pages of junk scroll by. Here is an example (please excuse the 80 column output), # tip -v -9600 cuaa0c connected $$rdrsS&L3ffffseIr3~FJV~^Z~:y"yN~:y#>N~:y#2N~:y#&N~:y##N~:y#yN~:yy:N~:yy6N~:yy2N ~:yy.JVZ~~~~~~F~~~FJV.#/vsSSr%Y9)yrsfL3~~~&~>>u*2u*:~~6>>>JV~~~~:.yF6::F&F&.FFuB BBBBBJJVIRr2d36*.v~~~::y2:#6~JVeLcr$Is&yS&&3y~*#&J~ZJV~~~ ~vv~~~ ~>*6~~~ ~:6JV~~ >:NNNNNNN#eJV~~~ ~.:y.2>.>~^.>y&>~ZJV"qR2$H~2"".>*..~^2&#*&~ZJVeRrRrrS2rR2Rr3R2R2sSrdsfr&&ffffV|~ ~~vFv~~>>226>#FJV@eRrRrrrdRqdiRqR9Rr$r33rrdRqd3rdsSrdsfr&&f&&V$rqsr$IqsRrqrrsq$q rr2$I2Rrr32d3>~JVrfL~e~~JV r~~~~:F:N~~~:F:JV$dHfL~e~~JV>u~~:&~JV$2rfL~~~e~~JV`$r fL~e~~>JV'fL~~~~^ :>&&~ #>>6Ze~~~&F>~~>JV>u~~e~~>JV@$rfL~~>>>:~J~~e~~"F>~~>JVPr$r$rfL~~~e~~>>>J>>~~:.~~~ #F>~~>JVrfLSrdsfHrf2$dSfrSr$r$rV&rfL~"6>&*~~e~~~>2>J>2*N>2"~~&~~6~~>JV&rfL3ix y SR2Rrs~~JV&rfL:..>J~2F*v~e~~>~~>JVhr$rqrfL~~^#>.6Ze~~~>&>N>&.~~>JVPr$rrfL~e~~>:~ ~:~~>JV$rfLB6~e~~:6~~>JV>u~~~B6~N~~~>JV>u~~~e~~~>2>J>2~~>>>>>J>~~>JV>u~~e~~~>:>> ~~>JVfL3iy:&~~N~ >:>>eJV@$qrfL~.&ye~~~>2>~~>>>>>~~:*~~>JV>u~~~:*JVp$qR2rfL~~~JJ~~e~~>JV:u~~~~JJ~~ e~~>JVfSrds2dsfJ>2~~.~~>:>~~>JV>u~xSf&9srqRV1r2qRdrr2$drfrdr3rRrd2rsd2Rrr2$$dsV> u~~e~~~>2"#J>2"~~"~~>JV>u~~~^JZ~~~JVd$IfL~Be~~>JV>u~~~e~~>JV@qdfLe~~>JV>u~J~JV>~ ~~>.>~~>JV$$$1>>>>e~b~~JV$$$1>2>2e~b~~JVu~>:2e~b~~JV@$RRfLJ~~e~~~>&:~~>JV$$$1>>> e~b~~JVdqrfL~:###~^~Ze~~~>62>J>62N>2##J>2#N>22>J>22:~~*Ny~~>N2~~>JV$rfL~:#~e~~>J V$$$1>*>:e~b~~JV31~J~e~~~>6#J>6~~2~~>JV6u~xSf&)VPq~>.>:e~b~~JVu~>">>e~b~~JV%q~~~ ~FJVrfLrYyl))s i)3ffLf~:**B:&B&2~~>J~~6JV( Rr$qr3rd32rSqdsR2Srr&$&V$qR2~~N~ ~>JV$qR2~~N~~:JVFDOy?=77-#1?!75r!=7~x|;?=x?xp=~?75r-95ek#tv!%=v-9?;!!v?-#?~xx### ekxp=~!# ?=77-#1?!75r!=7~x|;?=x?xp=~?75r-95ekek#tv!%=v-9?;!!v?-#?~xx###ekekxp=~!# ? =77-#1?!75r!=7~x|;?=x?xp=~?75r-95ekekekek#tv!%=v-9?;!!v?-#?~xx###ekekekekxp=~!# ? =77-#1?!75r!=7~x|;?=x?!75r!=7~x|= Can anyone out there give me an idea what is going on? I've used "real" serial consoles before (i.e. Wyse terminals), but never successfully used a FreeBSD box. Any hints as to what my problem is? A configuration issue? Or have I got some flaky hardware?
