 same problem
 but chris tell me that and it works
 
 
 Your /etc/ttys file probably doesn't have anything in it for:
 
 tty00   /usr/libexec/getty std.19200  vt100   on  secure

the soekris always boots with 19200 by default.
you can change that in the comBIOS or at the os.

if you need more docu, go to http://www.soekris.com/downloads.htm
and grep net4801_manual.pdf.

A generous soul has pointed out that flow control causes this problem.

I have disabled all flow control in the terminal client and this
resolved the problem.

Thanks!

 Hi:

 I have a Soekris net4801 which runs from a compact flash disk. It
 boots
 to the serial console. I've set everything to 9600 baud, 8 bit words,
 no
 parity, 1 stop bit.

 When left unattended, it boots normally.

 If I try to enter anything at the boot prompt, I see one character
 and
 then it hangs completely. Only a hard reset fixes it:

 Obviously, this is bad because it means I won't be able to pass any
 kernel parameters should that become necessary.

 If I do nothing or hit enter, the system boots normally -- no greek,
 no
 garbage -- which would suggest it's not a baud rate problem.

 Has anybody encountered this before?

 Thanks,

 Have you tried disabling all flow control?  Variants of this have been
 asked and answered tons on both misc@ and Soekris lists.  If this
 doesn't
 help you might try searching those archives.

I did search those lists and found nothing -- most everything referred
to baud rate, and I've checked that up and down, and it jibes.

The flow control -- I haven't seen that mentioned. I've tried it and it
has fixed the problem.

Thanks,
