try add nc flag(no carrier) to gettytab entry like this.. /etc/gettytab: serialcon:\ :np:nc:hw:tc=19200-baud: /etc/ttys: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty serialcon" vt100 on secure (or ttyd1..?) it fixed same trouble on mine. btw, I don't know why your sio0 is 0x2f8 irq3 .. isn't it supposed to be detected as sio1? If you are going to use boot0sio too, you need to add 'BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT=0x2F8' to /etc/make.conf then recompile/install /sys/boot then install boot0sio using boot0cfg(8). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
