I realize this, but how do I get FreeBSD to USE a serial console? I wasn't aware if this was possible/had been done or not. Having a terminal on a serial port is not what I want...I want console messages (at boot, panics, etc.) to go to a console attached to a serial port. If this is as simple as you've made it sound, by all means enlighten me :-) // Matt Zimmerman Chief of System Management NetRail, Inc. // mdz@netrail.net sales@netrail.net // (703) 524-4800 [voice] (703) 524-4802 [data] (703) 534-5033 [fax]
