In my /etc/ttys the section with the virtual terminals is followed by these entries: # Serial terminals # The 'dialup' keyword identifies dialin lines to login, fingerd etc. ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure # Dumb console dcons "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 off secure I think you just need to turn the corresponding serial port "on". I am not sure if you can create a login screen on your soon-to-be terminal automatically upon startup of the FreeBSD box, however... Hope this helps, Benjamin
