Hello List,
While waiting for a make build to finish...
I thought of just letting OpenBSD boot to login and use the other terminals
to login to the serial consoles. Works like a charm!
Now learn to build an Alpha bastion server, Sparc64 dhcp, DNS server, i386
mail server...
getting off of M$ Windows eventually.
Have a good weekend,
rogern

Subject: boot> set tty com0; switching to serial console com0; blinking
cursor Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2005 17:33:08 -0700
Hello List,
I have been successfully communicating to an Alpha and Sparc64 via serial
tty00 and tty01 in fvwm term as root # cu -l tty00
When I try to set this at boot there is a blinking cursor
boot> set tty com0
switching to serial console com0
_
I have tried editing /etc/ttys
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
This is on 3.8-beta i386
I don't know if I understand that a host i386 is unable to do this at boot
time.
This is on an IBM x220
Any assitance on this is appreciated.
Here is my ttys file, let me know if any other info. is required.
Thank you,
rogern
