I would however note that the README.serial document in the ..src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot directory dates from 1999, and given a conflict between the two I'd be inclined to favor the handbook in general since it is updated regularly. (the handbook section 15.6 seems to be based on README.serial though) I see another factor, looking through the handbook - if you're trying to get a login prompt, you have to tell the getty on that port what speed you want, ie in the /etc/ttys file. Did you do that? (Handbook section 15.6.4.4) Phil -- Philip J.
