I'm having a little trouble getting FreeBSD to boot to a serial port, i have my second serial port null modem'd to a win95 PC, when i: echo whatever > /dev/ttyd1 it comes across, however when i try the combination of -D and -h flags at the "boot:" prompt i get nothing. am i using the wrong boot flags? how do i tell it to use the second serial port? if FreeBSD expecting the connection to be on the first serial port? and what kind of terminal emulation should i use on the terminal, i think ANSI is correct? right? any help with this would be great, thank you, .________________________________________________________________________ __ _ |Alfred Perlstein - Programming & SysAdmin --"Have you seen my FreeBSD tatoo?" |perlsta@sunyit.edu --"who was that masked admin?" |http://www.cs.sunyit.edu/~perlsta : '
