Before I start tearing my hair out can somebody confirm that all I should have to do is put: -P As the only contents of /boot.config and that I should just have to set: hint.device.sio.0.flags="0x10" in /boot/device.hints to get a serial console if I don't plug a keyboard in? I'm having problems getting it working, and want to ensure I'm doing the right thing (despite following the Handbook). In desparation I did set the flags to 0x30, which resulted in the following output from dmesg|grep sio0: sio0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A, console Not that it made any difference :( If people can confirm this means I should have a serial console I'll start looking at the null-modem cable, the only part of the system that's not been confirmed good. TIA Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue. Reply-to mangled to assist those who don't read the above. -- Rob | What part of "no" was it you didn't understand? _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with absent friends - get MSN Messenger http://www.msn.co.uk/messengerReceived on Mon Jan 19 2004 - 22:08:34 UTC
