Hello Tim
I did what in the handbook under article 26.6.5.2. is described but not shure
how I can write a new boot block to the disk. Here is what I think is correct:
Output from df and bsdlabel mfid0s1:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mfid0s1a 989M 378M 532M 42% /

f: 839234174 406847488 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528
My opinion is:
bsdlabel -B mfid0s1
What has this all got to do with the Subject?
Subject: Re: Using Serial Port Other Than sio0 for the Console
Please don't hijack threads.
Start a new one if you have something to ask.
In the article 26.6.5.2. in the handbook you will find the answer. If
you want to use another sio port (COM2 im my case) for serial
communications you need to write the boot blocks new. I do not use
bsdlabel often so I want to cross check that I'm on the right way.
Regards,
Is that correct?
Regards,

Probably I find the problem. I did not read care enough the article 26.6.5.2.
I will try it asap (in the next few days). I will keep you updated.

The baud rate etc. are correct as well (the standard settings).
The problem is I get no connection. I'm sure that my terminal works correct
because I can connect other FreeBSD sever over the serial cable but not the
above.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,

Surprised nobody's really responded.
Enabling serial logins on ttyd1 (COM2 in Microsoft terms) is on -- it's
defined in your ttys. The guaranteed "enabling" is to restart, but I've
heard that sigHUP init will reread ttys and enable logins (but I hadn't got
that to work yet).
Enabling serial as your console output (in terms of the boot process and
everything) should be, if available, enabled in /boot/loader.conf
There doesn't seem to be a setting to enable COM2 as your console device,
the only options (by reading through /boot/defaults/loader.conf) is to
enable comconsole, which runs over COM1
You would likely have to hack the bootloader files in source and reinstall
to get that kind of functionality.
Does this help? let me know if you want more help. I like enabling serial
console for the fact that you can get into out-of-bounds management this way
easily.
