Hello, it's me again, for an end. IT WAS THE CABLE /o\
I bought a cable in a shop, specially asking the guy there if it would fit to connect 2 pc to acces them using console control software, and he told me he used that same cable for his own lab test. And it appears the cable I made myself last month, and I didn't trust at all, is working using default params (and vt100 as HyperTerm does not seem to support vt220), while the one I paid 2.5 is not... (I said my cicso was fine with the serial port, but I could not use his cable, as one end is a rj45 connector...) Thanks anyway to you guys, and off to another problem ; /etc/boot.conf not used \x/ We'll see that tomorrow, gonna sleep now, 34 after midnight here. nicodache On 8/21/07, nicodache <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Me again, > > Trying to play with the serial port to see if I can get it to work, I > just saw my box does not seem to care of /etc/boot.conf : when I "set > timeout 20" (plus stty com0 9600 & set tty com0), my machine still > decides to boot after 5 seconds. > > So, my computer really does sorcerer-ish things... > > any clues on why I got no luck ? > > Could that be due to RAIDframe ? > Or am I just some kind of idiot ? > > Thx > > On 8/21/07, nicodache <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Here is the content of /etc/ttys file. do you see any mistake ? > > > > -bash-3.2$ grep -v none /etc/ttys > > # > > # $OpenBSD: ttys,v 1.17 2002/06/09 06:15:14 todd Exp $ > > # > > # name getty type status comments > > # > > console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure > > ttyC1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC8 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyC9 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyCa "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > ttyCb "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure > > tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure > > tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off > > tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off > > tty03 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off > > tty04 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off > > tty05 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off > > tty06 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off > > tty07 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off > > > > > > when getting the stage 2 boot loading prompt, I also get the following message : > > probing: pc0 com0 mem[639K 1023M a20=on] > > disk: fd0 fd1 hd0+ hd1+ > > >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.13 > > boot > > > > > So, my installation sees an com port. is that because it is physically > > detected ? or because it is configured in the /etc/ttys file ? > > > > Thanks again
