Message-ID: <19990118151749.A68260@florence.pavilion.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.1i Organisation: Pavilion Internet plc, 24 The Old Steine, Brighton, BN1 1EL, England Phone: +44-1273-607072 Fax: +44-1273-607073 Mobile: +44-403-596893 Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We're having trouble using the new boot loader code and '-h' in boot.config. It appears that unless the terminal is connected to the serial port a machine doesn't reboot properly. My guess is that the new boot serial code is defaulting to hardware handshaking on the serial terminal line, whereas the original boot code didn't. A quick glance at the code didn't confirm this, but does anyone know the answer to this off the top of their heads? Joe -- Josef Karthauser FreeBSD: How many times have you booted today?
