My serial interface looks correct: sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A, console I believe the boot.config is set correct cat /boot.config -h When the PC boots all the boot info is sent to serial, also to "Hit [Enter] to boot immediately..." works when I hit enter. The problem is I never get a login prompt, it stops at the date readout. Login through ethernet works but takes a very long time for login prompt. Ken
