Second, do you have more than one serial port on the box because FreeBSD = can only work its serial console magic on only one port at a time. If you redirect your IPMI serial console or just a normal serial = console, take note it's interrupt number in the BIOS. You'll need to append the 0x10 flags to your UART device in device.hints = file if the you plug in the cable at a non-default port. ihsan On Jul 22, 2012, at 1:47 AM, Paul Macdonald wrote: >=20 > what am i doing wrong here? >=20 > =46rom rebuilding the install iso and from the handbook instructions = here: = http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanced= .html > which suggests that in /boot/loader.conf only >=20 > console=3D"comconsole" >=20 > is required, >=20 > i have tried this and also explicity setting speed in boot/loader.conf >=20 > console=3D"comconsole" > comconsole_speed=3D"57600" >=20 > i have also tried having the settings i use to access via serial post = install > ie: >=20 > /etc/ttys: ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt100 on = secure > and /boot/config: -D >=20 > but same result, install stops ( or goes elsewhere at point below) >=20 > It does boot stage 1 and stage 2 then i get nothing? >=20 > test serial output: > ----------------------------------------- > CD Loader 1.2 > r Configuration Menu ... > Building the boot loader arguments > Looking up /BOOT/LOADER...
