Greetings! I am looking how to make a headless FreeBSD server. I have a box running FreeBSD 4.6.2 and want to redirect console to the serial port. When I do a "man sio": 0x00020 device is forced to become system console So in my kernel file, I added that for sio1, recompile, installed, and rebooted: device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 flags 0x20 irq 3 However, console is still going to the monitor. So how can I redirect it? Also, I have a Tyan motherboard and can redirect console to the serial port, and this works fine until FreeBSD boots. Once it boots, it takes back control and the console once again goes to the monitor. So any info on redirecting console to the serial port would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
