[-- Attachment #1 --] Newbie question. How does one configure a serial port under FreeBSD to use as a console for another machine. I wish to use the BSD equivalent of dos's com1: on my Toshiba laptop 1. what do I configure in the kernel (sio1?) 2. which /dev device do I talk to with minicom? 3. are there any /etc files that I need to configure I am tring to use minicom from my laptop to talk to my Sun boxes when i build them. I *have* had a go myself with limited success. If anyone knows or can point me to a URL or FAQ I would be greatly appreciative.
