hi all, I wonder if it is possible to have multiple devices as consoles with FreeBSD/i386 ? eg. a Serial port as well as the monitor. By reading i386/i386/cons.c, it appears to be not. If it is not, then I would want to put away with the layer provided by i386/i386/cons.c while porting to sparc beacause the OpenBoot PROM already provides a console abstraction. Meanwhile, I have a functional locore.S and a PROM library with I/O routines and device tree browsing routines. I want to work on adding more debug infrastructure now with symbol table lookups and a panic routine which brings you to the PROM where you can do a `ctrace'. Also, integrating things with the BSD `configure'. -- Kapil Chowksey Viva GNU ! kchowksey@hss.hns.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
