Hi, I want to use a VT100 emulator program on my PC serial port as the console for my FreeBSD machine. And I would like to also have the sco (vga/keyboard) terminal available too. Best would be autodetect, if the keyboard is plugged in it would use the sco terminal, but if the keyboard is not plugged in it would use the sio terminal. I think that I can do this from the boot prompt with the -P argument. But I want to make that the default behavior. And when the keyboard is not plugged in I would like to start output to sio terminal at the lowest possible boot level. Dual (sco and sio) would be OK too. Does anyone have any hints on how to do this? So far all I can do is to use the sio to login after bootup. I had to change this line in /etc/ttys ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure Thanks, Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
