I can't seem to get my serial terminal to work with my new system. I had a serial terminal connected to my old system that worked great and copied /boot.config, /boot/loader.conf and /etc/ttys settings over from it.
The new system has a Gigabyte GA970A-UD3 board with just a serial header on the board. I bought a serial connector backplate in an electronics store and connected it to the board. Could the pinout be different or something? > cat /boot.config -D -S19200 > cat /boot/loader.conf boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="19200" console="comconsole,vidconsole" > cat /etc/ttys ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure # Serial terminals # The 'dialup' keyword identifies dialin lines to login, fingerd etc. ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" vt320 on secure ttyu1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyu2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure ttyu3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup off secure # Dumb console dcons "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 off secure >From /var/log/messages: Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: uart0: console (19200,n,8,1) Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: orm0: <ISA Option ROMs> at iomem 0xd5000-0xd67ff,0xd7000-0xd7fff on isa0 Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: sc0: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0 Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300> Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0 Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0 Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: kbd0 at atkbd0 Jun 4 21:28:50 solfertje kernel: atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] I didn't see any options in the BIOS to set the console speed (just address and IRQ, those are in the above). ISTR that my old mobo did allow to set that information, but then again, that board (Tyan Tiger) gave me access to the BIOS through the serial console. What am I missing?
