Maksym, you need to start a getty process on the serial line, by editing /etc/ttys like this: console none unknown off secure ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure In /stand/sysinstall (or /usr/sbin/sysinstall), you can edit ttys. I'm running 5.2-CURRENT on net4801 Soekris hardware, and this is exaclty what is needed to get login prompt on the serial console. Good luck! cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
