Notes: I do seem to still have serial access to boxes which were upgraded from 10 ->10.1 new installs are connected via on an older cyclades CAS box, the working ones above are on a newer cyclades ACS, but the bsd boot issues come over serial fine so that part is not a serial access error my config is: boot.conf: -h boot.config: -D boot/loader.conf comconsole_speed="57600" console="comconsole" /etc/ttys ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt100 on secure or (since 10.1) ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9570" vt100 onifconsole secure I'm only in the DC till end of tomorrow, any suggestions would be welcome.. thanks Paul. -- ------------------------- Paul Macdonald IFDNRG Ltd Web and video hosting ------------------------- t: 0131 5548070 m: 07970339546 e: paul@ifdnrg.com w: http://www.ifdnrg.com ------------------------- IFDNRG 40 Maritime Street Edinburgh EH6 6SA ---------------------------------------------------- High Specification Dedicated Servers from £100.00pm ----------------------------------------------------
