In my experience to date, it does not (disable); rather, the same serial port may be used for access to the BIOS, as well as for logging in (via /etc/ttys). I haven't tried kgdb over serial, but I have no reason to believe that the BIOS use of the port will affect that, either. Peace, david --=20 David H.
