I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.1-BETA2 on my IBM Thinkpad A30p,
but I'm having the following problems:
1.) If I just insert the install CD and reboot, the kernel hangs
right after it detects firewire on my system.
2.) If I stop the boot process by pressing a key at the kernel
boot prompt, then enter:
boot -Dh
to boot from a serial console, the kernel boots fine. However,
I've only gotten the serial console to output properly ONCE on
a remote machine, and I think that was a fluke.
I'm using the following command to grab the serial console from
the remote machine:
cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 9600
Again, this worked once, but when I rebooted it outputed garbage
again. Is there a better program that I can use for serial console
communications? I didn't find the handbook to be much help in this
area. I'd prefer to not use a TTY since I don't plan to do this
very often.
Anybody have any tips or ideas?
