That's good to hear >Why is the serial output unreadable? Every character typed by the FreeBSD boot process is erased after typing, at least using the console programs I have tried. It has always been this way. (I don't build my own kernels.) >The Soekris BIOS talks at 9600 baud and FreeBSD defaults to 19200 so >you might need to change baud rates in mid boot. No, it's not that. I see each character come up and disappear. As I said, I see the countdown happening. >I also needed to disable DMA as a few recent messages have mentioned. Yep, did that. >But it doesn't sound like you're even getting that far. What are you >installing from and to? 7.0 RELEASE, from CD onto a CF card on a different machine. This might be a lot clearer if there was a simple way to get the FreeBSD boot stuff to leave its text on the serial console in a way that I could see. Am I missing some bit of passed-down wisdom here? _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
