On first boot off hard disk, kernel messages print to serial console and at the end it prints the time/date but no login prompt.
I SSH in as a standard user and I see getty is running on ttyu0:
$ ps awux |grep getty
root 1087 0.0 0.0 5584 2392 ?? I 0:20PM :00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyu0
And that config is reflected in /etc/ttys:
$ grep ttyu0 /etc/ttys
ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
I believe the terminal (minicom) is configured correctly since I was able to interact with and complete the install over serial console. And system messages (su failures) continue to print to serial console.
However, I'm not able to get any direct response from input in serial console. And to make matters worse I didn't enable root auth over SSH, and I forgot to add my non-root account to the wheel group.
So, before I boot off CD, any recommendations on what else I should check?
Thanks,
