I cd /sys/i386/boot/biosboot vi Makefile # uncommented CFLAGS+= -DFORCE_COMCONSOLE make clean make make install cd /usr/mdec disklabel -B -b boot1 -s boot2 sd0 fastboot Still comes out on the VGA display. I also compiled a kernel with COMCONSOLE and much of the console data comes out on the serial port, however, the boot: still only shows up on the VGA. Any ideas? I'm running with the FreeBSD Boot Manager. Does that make any difference? Thanks, Brian Litzinger brian@easynet.com
