I am trying to get virtual serial boot console working with ilo standard on the DL380G4. First off, I can't see any way to get the ILO to reconfigure and use COM1 as the virtual port. Anders Nordby had posted a similar problem in Oct '07 (see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-proliant/2007-October/000302. html) in which he apparently was configuring the RBSU from the command line. Was this using ilo2 or advanced ilo? In any case, the alternative is to redirect the console to COM2 and reconfigure the boot parameters. The BSD handbook says to use this line in the kernel configuration file: device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 flags 0x10 irq 3 but config reports a syntax error on this line. Is the handbook in error? Do I need to set the flags for sio1 in the HINTS file? What is the correct way to change the com port? -- Barry Friedman Emax Computer Systems Inc., 480 Tweedsmuir Ave., Ottawa, Ont. Canada K1Z 5N9
