I figured it out. I need to run the getty on /dev/console and not /dev/ttya and then it works, even though /dev/ttya is the serial port in question. I'm still not sure why I didn't get messages past mounting root when I was running 5.1-RELEASE, but -CURRENT seems to have fixed a few problems on the Ultra-AXe. -p On Tuesday, September 30, 2003, at 07:58 PM, Peter Larkowski wrote: > Hi again, > > I never managed to get the 5.1 cd booted successfully on my ultra AXe, > but I did do a buildworld to RELENG_5_1 from 9-28.
