Hello; I have built a 386 that i am using as a fulltime freebsd/samba box. I have no desire to have a monitor on this box, because it sits next to one of my 2 dualboot 386's that have FreeBSD and windows. If there is no monitor on the machine, then syscons spits up and the machine reboots. I have added "option COMCONSOLE" to the kernel ( as mentioned in the LINT config file ) without any success. I would assume this would be possible, because i thought that Bill Paul was booting a machine over the phoneline somewhere... Anybody know how this is supposed to work? I would like to have the console operated from the serial port of the neighboring machine... tnx; ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
