Ok, will try that, thanks. Although the host machine should be able to accept connections without anything enabled from the OS side.On Fri, Apr 08, 2005 at 11:02:52AM +0300, Jani Luukkanen wrote:

Ok, I presume would have to disable the "Serial terminals" section with entries such as;

Yes. You need to make sure that the 4th column says "off" on the 4.10 machine; and make sure that they say "yes" on the 5.3 machine that you're connecting to. Make sure you do a "kill -HUP 1" on both boxes so that the system rescans /etc/ttys.
Sorry for confusing explanation. The board has built in serial console feature, which you can turn on from bios. This allows you to access the machine through serial port no matter in what condition the machine would be. (Hanging in the boot-phase or kernel dead)The fact that the 5.3 box bios has the built-in serial terminal feature enabled doesnt affect to this one?
In sense that it should enable the possibility to even make bios changes or install OS wherever text mode is available. (Main idea of the thing is to ensure availability of the other machine)
Option has been set up so that the serial console replaces one of the comports. (In this case it would be replacing Com1 in the 5.3 machine) 4.10 is of course configured with ordinary serial ports so that it would have access to the serial terminal of the other machine.
Might be this is irrelevant but just wondering does BSD need in that case some special conf for this purpose or just needs replacing the getty settings. (Previously with 4.10 configuration i managed to connect through minicom)
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Most machines come with serial-ports; so yes, you can enable them to accept gettys so that you can access them remotely by using a serial cable.
Cheers.
Thanks,
Jani
