Hi all, I want OpenSolaris to use the serial console rather than the monitor. My current menu.lst (located in /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst) looks like this: splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz background 215ECA timeout 30 default 0 #---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- #---------------------END BOOTADM-------------------- title opensolaris-6 findroot (pool_rpool,0,a) bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-6 splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #============ End of LIBBE entry =============
I edited it to look like this: #splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz #background 215ECA timeout 30 default 0 serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal serial #---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- #---------------------END BOOTADM-------------------- title opensolaris-6 findroot (pool_rpool,0,a) bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-6 splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS -B console=ttya module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #============ End of LIBBE entry ============= I was under the impression that this would do the trick. When I reboot, I do indeed see grub on the console, but after selecting the BE, the machine just reboots... Does anyone have any advice? I'm running OpenSolaris 2009.06 Many thanks, Ben -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
