I tried to boot via a serial console, so I modified/added the following config files: --------------------------- /boot/loader.conf: boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" console="comconsole" ------------------------------- /boot.config # wyt: added -Dh ------------------------------- Changed /etc/ttys: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure to ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" xterm on secure However, I got the following messages while booting: /boot.config: # FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)boot boot: I think I prob. made a mistake by putting a line of comment "#wyt: added" at the beginning of /boot.conf and the boot loader doesn't like it. But if I specify /boot/kernel/kernel after the line boot: I got a bunch of reg dumps and finally: BTX halted The kernel was booting fine before I make the changes. I now have the chicken and egg problem: I need to get rid of the line of comment in boot.conf for it to boot, but I can't access it without booting into it. Any hint? WT
