We'd really need a stacktrace to help. It would also be useful to know if more recent versions of the OS (such as 6.1) exhibit the same problems. As far as getting serial console working, you don't need to create a /boot.config file (that is i386-specific). However, you need to get SRM to use the serial console and then the loader and kernel will use it. It's been a while since I set it up, but I would look at your SRM variables and see if there's a CONSOLE variable you can set to SERIAL instead of VIDEO (IIRC). You can then try running 'init' from SRM to restart SRM which should then show up on your serial console. You might be able to find more definitive instructions on using SRM with a serial console via a web search. =2D-=20 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> =A0<>< =A0http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" =A0=3D =A0http://www.FreeBSD.org
