On wcarchive I have: tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown on secure ...but I also have the /dev/console logging disabled in /etc/syslog.conf (I don't think this should matter, however). For the kernel config, I *don't* have COMCONSOLE defined. Serial consoles are enabled via the boot blocks by defining FORCE_COMCONSOLE in the i386/boot/biosboot Makefile. This will cause the boot> prompt and all kernel output to go to the serial port. -DG
