From my understanding, 0x10 is preferred as this enables you to also use a keyboard/screen combo as console (say: it just works for me). > Do I need to do anything to /etc/ttys ? Yes you do: change ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure to ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure if you need more than one serial consoles, you can also set the following lines to on.
