I think you need to read the Serial Console section of the Handbook. You will find it here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html The reason that you lost the serial console after the kernel started is that you BIOS from that point is launched to the nearest galaxy's trashcan via hyperspace, I mean is not functional. You have to set up the serial console. ----------[ Free Software ISOs - http://www.fsn.hu/?f=download ]---------- Attila Nagy e-mail: Attila.Nagy@fsn.hu Free Software Network (FSN.HU) phone @work: +361 210 1415 (194) cell.: +3630 306 6758 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
