This combination did not work in the way I was hoping for. I have tried a variety of things over the past few days, and at this point I'm starting to lose track of which-combination-did-what. But I think it was that if I remove ofw_console, then the bootup messages stop showing up after the line "jumping to kernel entry at 0xc0048000.", which comes very early in the startup process. If I removed the 'sab' device, I seemed to get closer to what I wanted. What I was hoping for was to have both the firmware console that one gets from plugging in the keyboard, and the serial console. I wanted all the bootup messages to go to the serial console, where they are easy for me to capture. Once the system was up in multi-user mode, I wanted to be able to log into both the firmware and the serial console. When dropping into single-user mode, I wanted one of the two consoles to work (I don't mind which one). Apparently I can't get to that point. I notice Marius just committed some changes to dev/uart, so maybe I should retry after recompiling with that. I should note that I'm not really all *that* concerned about this. Initially all I really wanted to do was to stop seeing the error messages about ttya at startup, and to have a getty running on the serial console. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
