I should mention that this is on an ultra-10, running 6.x-current as of sometime late Friday night. My kernel does have the DDB, KDB, and BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER options added. It also turns off WITNESS, if that makes any difference. I should also mention that I do get the serial console I'm expecting if I unplug the keyboard on my Ultra-10, but on i386 I can get serial console behavior while the keyboard is still plugged in. I just have to put the right magic characters in /boot.config . That doesn't seem to work on my Ultra10. This is not a big problem for me, but I was just curious if I am missing some detail. For instance, on i386 I had to modify /boot/device.hints, but I was not sure what the appropriate change to that file would be on sparc64. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
