Hi!
I try to install 4.10 on headless PC(without a monitor and vga output) So I've used my laptop as a serial console (via null modem cable). All was wonderfull, but after end of install procedure und reboot, I see with this terminal (cu -l /dev/cuaa0) all and the date for the login line. But not the login prompt. So I can't to log in and do anything. What have I to do, to log in this headless PC?
Maksym, you need to start a getty process on the serial line, by editing /etc/ttys like this:
console none unknown off secure ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure
In /stand/sysinstall (or /usr/sbin/sysinstall), you can edit ttys.
I'm running 5.2-CURRENT on net4801 Soekris hardware, and this is exaclty what is needed to get login prompt on the serial console.
Good luck!
