Puzzling. Seeing stuff like this... ----------------------------> Automatic boot in progress: starting file system checks. /dev/sd0a (e580d48835930ea5.a): file system is clean; not checking /dev/sd0k (e580d48835930ea5.k): file system is clean; not checking /dev/sd1a (b4b681cb78013c36.a): file system is clean; not checking /dev/sd0d (e580d48835930ea5.d): file system is clean; not checking /dev/sd1d (b4b681cb78013c36.d): file system is clean; not checking /dev/sd0f (e580d48835930ea5.f): file system is clean; not checking /dev/sd0g (e580d48835930ea5.g): file system is clean; not checking /dev/sd0h (e580d48835930ea5.h): file system is clean; not checking /dev/sd0j (e580d48835930ea5.j): file system is clean; not checking Automa/dev/sd0i (e580d48835930ea5.i): file system is clean; not checking tic boot in progress: st/dev/sd0e (e580d48835930ea5.e): file system is clean; not checking arting file system checks. <---------------------------- ... I wonder: Did you reboot inbetween and there was a huge loss of output, or does it actually repeat output? The latter would be particularly inexplicable. > Will this work at all with the uplcom(4) device, It certainly should. > or do I need a true serial port on a machine somewhere? No. I have used uplcom(4) and uftdi(4) serial adapters to access serial consoles since... since well before I got rid of my alpha and sparc64 gear. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
