Hello,

But this gives me the following error when restarting init:

init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs

Apparently cu can not be started directly from /etc/ttys, can it? How
else should I accomplish this?



I think you are trying to start cu on a _virtual_ terminal (ttyvN). In my /etc/ttys the section with the virtual terminals is followed by these entries:


# Serial terminals
# The 'dialup' keyword identifies dialin lines to login, fingerd etc.
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off 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
# Dumb console
dcons   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   off secure

I think you just need to turn the corresponding serial port "on". I am not sure if you can create a login screen on your soon-to-be terminal automatically upon startup of the FreeBSD box, however...

Hope this helps,
Benjamin
