And just so you know I've not totally ignored the patches you sent me (though I haven't yet replied - sorry! This one seems to have been on my "pending stack" for a little bit too long), I was sort of unsure as to the general ramifications of your biosboot and ttys changes. Clearly, any change to support serial consoles can't be done at the expense of general usage, and I seem to remember from the deep and dark past that there are serious problems with putting a getty on /dev/console rather than /dev/ttyv0 when you'r running X. This may have been solved already, but can someone help refresh my memory? More to the point, could you submit the patches here to -current for more general review? Your sysinstall changes I will take unilaterally, but the rest I'd like some wider commentary on before I'll contemplate taking them into the tree. Thanks! Jordan
