From time to time people ask questions about the serial console. As README.serial is buried deep inside the kernel source tree, it's almost time to have a decent text on the serial console in our handbook. I am reformatting README.serial so that it can be included in our handbook, and adding bits and pieces to clarify things. I haven't finished it yet, but would like to have your comments now, so that we can make it more informative and useful. I put up the HTML version in: http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/serialconsole.html and the SGML version in: ftp://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/serial-console.sgml Please have a look and send me comments, corrections, additional useful text, relevant pointers, etc. Some notes: - The text describes FreeBSD versions 3.0 and 3.1 or later. Version 3.0 doesn't have our new boot loader, so there is a note in the introduction section about it. - Because there are many differences regarding the serial console setup between 2.X systems and 3.X systems, I don't directly deal with 2.X systems in this text. - I am not a SGML expart ;-< formatting and links may be wrong. - Some sections are not yet finished :-) - The chapter number is arbitrary. When this text will be eventually included in the handbook, I expect Nik will put it somewhere suitable and give appropriate chapter number. Thank you. Kazu PS: I don't subscribe to the doc ML.
