I have added "option COMCONSOLE" to the kernel ( as > mentioned in the LINT config file ) without any success. If you don't install video card, remove console device driver (maybe sc0) from your configuration file. But don't remove `sio0' device. Connect serial cable to sio0 and your `serial console machine' by 9600 bps 8bit. I suggest to try booting with option `-h' first to save your compile time. If you can get console message from your serial terminal, then succeed to rebuild a kernel. candy@fct.kgc.co.jp (Toshihiro Kanda)
