Serial console on USB?
The boot console? Probably not. Logging in

I'm one of these guys running FreeBSD 4.11 on very old hardware (a
Pentium 166, specifically), and I want to upgrade to FreeBSD 6 or 7
soon but with new hardware. Being blind, I need to use something
other than the video card for a console. I've been using a serial
console for a long time, but se

Right, in fact the syscons is just a kind of serial emulation. Traditionally
all consoles were serial terminals.
You can use USB-Serial cables if you don't have enough serial ports, but
there's no USB-USB console.
But there is dcons, a simple console over firewire!

Is it possible to do the console thingie not with a null modem serial
cable but with a usb cable ?
When you do the serial console, it means that you have a screen like
it was the other pc's screen, right ? With boot messages and
everything, able to do whatever you want like your keybord and screen
en + keybord next to the computer.
So what I was thinking about was if there exists or is plans on
developing USB-console or anything similar. Consoleaccess over USB. Sure
would be very handy and cool but maby that is not possible/wantable to
do?
