[follow-up on my earlier post on 'mixed' bootloaders] Now, what I propose to myself: install via serial console by leaving the cd40 in the drive and boot with serial console to it. (It is difficult for me to access my boxes out there, but someone can always insert a CDROM for me). So far, I (read the archives) and tried 'set tty com0', but it wouldn't work. I tried to disable BIOS redirection, but the buggers need to restart (and then there's naught at all). As far as I understand, I'd need a cd40_mod.iso, which redirects the output to com0 in /etc/boot.conf, activating in /etc/ttys; and then everything (install and upgrade) should be fine, through serial port.
My questions: 1. Am I right, is this finally supposed to work ? 2. Does anyone have a cd40.iso for amd64 readily available ? (3. Does it make sense to add this to standard `machine` release ?) Uwe
