Hi, is the above supposed to work? I tried to follow what is written in the installation manual: unplugging the keyboard does nothing, booting with 'boot -h' gives me all the kernel's device probing messages on both the serial console and the normal console, but after 'mounting root from ...' sysinstall appears on the normal console. harti

>From some recent research into serial console for use on 6.1-PRERELEASEthe best method was to create a boot.config file in the root directory: /boot.config with one line containing just: -P This produces a console on both the internal console as well as on the serial port.
