I didn't expect the above errors to work out of the box. I booted the box using pxegrub downloaded from http://www.berger.to/openbsd/pxegrub.html (pxegrub.sis-tty-19200.gz) Kernel and initrd was downloaded via tftp and bootet with the following grub commands: kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=8192 devfs=mount,dall console=ttyS0,19200 initrd /initrd.gz The boot loader installed by debian-installer wasn't set up to use serial console so I aborted the first reboot and booted with pxegrub getting the commands from the installed menu.lst. The proceeding installation process correctly till the end and then the machine seemed to hang. Of course /etc/inittab wasn't configured to start getty on /dev/ttyS0. Booting in single user mode (with pxegrub) and correcting /etc/inittab with ed (neither vi or nano worked) everthing seem to work as expected. -- Peter Makholm | What if: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | IBM bought Xenix from Microsoft instead of buying http://hacking.dk | DOS? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
