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 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
