could someone give me a bit of help with getting the FreeBSD boot to work with my serial line? i have a nullmodem cable set up between two computers, one if a FreeBSD box (2.2-Stable), the other a winbloze 95 PC. i have the serial cable attached to the second serial port on the freebsd box. sending data over via "cat somefile > /dev/ttyd1" works as well as in the opposite direction, but i was unable to decypher the commands to the "boot:" prompt enough for me to get the boot to come across the serial line... can anyone help me with this? .________________________________________________________________________ __ _ |Alfred Perlstein - Programming & SysAdmin --"Have you seen my FreeBSD tatoo?" |perlsta@sunyit.edu --"who was that masked admin?" |http://www.cs.sunyit.edu/~perlsta : '
