Date: 29 Oct 1996 03:38:03 GMT Organization: Ericsson North America Inc. Lines: 14 Message-ID: <553u6r$i9l@cnn.exu.ericsson.se> NNTP-Posting-Host: b04a08.exu.ericsson.se X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] Hi... I'm running a FreeBSD 2.1.5R box with one serial terminal, and have recently found myself headless (long story, involving a move to Japan and a monitor not worth the cost of shipping). Is there a serial console driver--something that would let me watch the bootup, enter flags and such, and see the output from halt(8), all from my serial terminal? Thanks! -- Ben Madison Ericsson Inc. exujbm@exu.ericsson.se Richardson, Texas jbm@computek.net USA
