All of the other stuff you mentioned (BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED, etc.) are all just to get the boot messages onto the serial console. If you have the above in /etc/ttys and either HUPped init(8) or booted with this /etc/ttys, first double check that the settings at the other end match up. And then... *sigh* I guess you need to dig into /etc/gettytab and make sure that the settings there match the settings on the "terminal." > -----Original Message----- > From: Crist J.
