Re: init: can't exec getty 'none' for port /dev/console: No such file or directory
True its set to on, but i believe this change was requested from the DC to enable the remote console for the box. would turning it off effect the remote console from working?

No. The 'console' entry is just a marker. By remote console I presume you mean serial console. The easiest way to get a serial console is to put -P into /boot.config and unplug the keyboard. (For other ways, see boot(8) and sio(4)). In order to enable logins on a serial console, you will need to turn on the getty for ttyd0. -- Peter Jeremy ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
