But when the Options (1 for Standard ANSI terminal, 2 for VT100 terminal, etc..), are displayed whatever input I press, nothing happens.=20 I don't know whether Hyperterminal doesn't transfer the input to otherside,=20 Or the Other side (kernel) is not reading from the serial input. So I am struct at this Terminal selection screen. BTW, what needs to be done to use the standard console screen instead of serialconsole For FreeBSD-IA64?=20 Redhat AS2.1/AS3.0 supports standard console for IA-64 installation. Any comments?
