I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.1-BETA2 on my IBM Thinkpad A30p, but I'm having the following problems: 1.) If I just insert the install CD and reboot, the kernel hangs right after it detects firewire on my system. 2.) If I stop the boot process by pressing a key at the kernel boot prompt, then enter: boot -Dh to boot from a serial console, the kernel boots fine. However, I've only gotten the serial console to output properly ONCE on a remote machine, and I think that was a fluke. I'm using the following command to grab the serial console from the remote machine: cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 9600 Again, this worked once, but when I rebooted it outputed garbage again. Is there a better program that I can use for serial console communications? I didn't find the handbook to be much help in this area. I'd prefer to not use a TTY since I don't plan to do this very often. Anybody have any tips or ideas? -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
