Hi,

I have a headless PC: no videocard, no monitor attached.
I decided to install FreeBSD, since it appears to be the only free
OS that can INSTALL over the serial port. That part went all well.

When I reboot this system, it reports the boot messages to the
serial-connected console. However, after the boot messages, there's
no login prompt on the serial-console.

Why can I not login over the serial port after the boot?
Can someone give me a clue what sort of things I may overlook?

Thanks,
Rob.
