Hi Lanas
I have a console definition on the inittab file as:
ttyS1::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100
Then I have the node definition built upon bootup on /dev as:
crw--w---- 1 root root 4, 65 Nov 2 17:53 ttyS1
And I do not start uml with any con config. Then uml set ups the console
once it finishes bootup.
Hope it helps
David
