Hi, First of all, this section of the documention was excellent in helping me= to set up serial access for my rack-mount FreeBSD server. I did run into one hurdle that I think should be mentioned in the handbook.= My default install of FreeBSD (4.4 release, from the CD-ROM) did not= enable a serial console in /etc/ttys. On my serial terminal I saw the= boot messages, but the serial output stopped just before I would have seen= the login prompt. I was stumped for a while, then I remembered the= /etc/ttys file and decided to give it a try. I enabled a serial console= and everything worked fine. May I suggest that section 15.6 mention that at least one serial console be= enabled in the file /etc/ttys in order for the serial console to work= fully up through the login prompt? Many thanks!
