Hi,

I'm trying to connect a modem to the serial port on my PC Engines
Wrap1E-board and I can't seem to boot a kernel without having anything
sent to the com-port.

This device doesn't have a screen controller so it uses the serial port
for bios and boot messages. It seems like the bios are redirecting pc0
to com0 up until the kernel booting. There is a boot-option to disable
this, but since there is no way for me to get a kernel to boot on pc0 it
makes no difference.

If I boots the a kernel without the PCCOMCONSOLE-option I can boot the
kernel providing I set the tty to com0 in either the boot loader or
/etc/boot.conf. But if I set the tty to pc0 and tries to boot it freezes
just after the entry point message.

I have even tried to set the tty to com1 in boot.conf to see if that
made any difference, but it seems to freeze up in the same way.

I need to find a way to boot a kernel without any messages on the
serial-port.

Thankful for any help, Rickard.
