I was wondering if there is any way to put the console on a USB port?
Since serial and parallel ports are becoming things of the past and
many systems don't come with them any more..
Serial console on USB?
The boot console? Probably not. Logging in to a booted system should
work.
I actually just got a PL2303 USB-to-serial adapter:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16812149115
It shows up when the uplcom module is loaded. ucom creates /dev/cuaU0,
which could be entered in /etc/ttys.
(Rule #1 of serial: no matter how many cables and adapters you have,
none will be correct and you will eventually have to buy or build one.
That's why I haven't tested this yet.)
