Hello,=20 I just installed FreeBSD 6.0 from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org. When I try to access the=20 system by connected a serial console. I do not see any output. (It just hangs). 1. I have created a file /boot/boot.conf with line -h in it.=20 2. Edited the /etc/ttys to change the /dev/ttyd0 line to read ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure. Instead of=20 ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure. 3. The /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file has an entry device sio 4. The /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints has hint.sio.0.flags=3D"0x10" The /var/log/messages has the following lines. sio0: configured irq 0 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0: port may not be enabled. sio0: <16550A-Compatible Com Port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flag 0x10 on acpio0 sio0: type 16550A.=20 sio1: configured irq 0 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled. gettty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyd0, sleeping for 30s. Am I missing something. Please advise. Thanks, Sowmya
