OK I installed minicom and changed the baud rate to 9600 and remove
the hardware flow control so no hardware or software flow

screen the soekris cannot read the USB stick after and tried using
minicom for the job unfortunately with the same result -> blank screen
with a cursor in the top left corner.
I am not sure if I should try amd64... the CPU is 32 bits not 64...
I tried to do more or less what you are doing, and I found that a USB
stick was either flaky or did not work and when I used an actual disk
and an older USB/umass/IDE adaptor, it worked reliably.
As for i386/amd64: the cpu is either, but soekris supports the box as
i386 only. People say that amd64 works too. I'm running mine i386.
Thank you for replying. Unfortunately I have no spare drive to use as
USB drive, so I decided to install on the drive I have by plugging it
into my laptop. During the install I picked com1 as the bootblock and
later move it to the Soekris, but unfortunately the same thing happens
after the boot I get nothing on the screen...
This is harder then I thought... :)
I cannot use the HD I have to put the installer on it and then install
on the same disk can I?? I mean the sysinstal will probably see it is a
disk and it will use it so when I go to partitioning all the sets I need
later will be gone plus tmp may not end in RAM...
Can someone share a properly configured /etc/ttys for the soekris so I
can see if I am completely messing this up??
Thanks in advance.
