I got a serial console working on COM2, to which I have connected
another FreeBSD box. I connect with 'cu' fine, but I'm running into
a couple of problems which I haven't been able to find and answer
for.
o When I connect, when the machine is first turned on, I get
disconnected twice during the boot up sequence (cu reports
Got hangup signal) -- looks like when the sio1 device is
probed, and also when getty runs.
o 9600 was rather slow, so I changed it to 115200, which worked,
however I had a few problems with terminal display -- any
output that scrolls down past the bottom of the screen gets
'garbled'. (IE, I run clear; ls -l / -- the first 23 lines
look ok then it gets messed up). Same results from console
mode of my client machine and from an xterm. I thought that
115200 might be too fast, so I slowed it down to 38400, but
same trouble. I'm not sure if this occured at 9600.
Any thoughts / ideas / suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
Bill
