Jeff, Thanks for the reply. I have read the LRP-Serial-HOWTO written by Charles and I have messed around with Serge's Packet Filter which asks, shortly after boot time, whether you want to use your monitor and keyboard or the serial port. Somehow, in amidst these two things and remembering various emails that I had seen on the topic, I made the assumption that there existed a magical "serial.lrp" that I would need for this purpose. I now have that cleared up thanks to an off line conversation with Larry and have reposted my original question with more information. Subject: serial console access.
You have already answered one of my questions. Now I understand why I was unable to find serial.o.

You may be confused between packages and modules... modules are loadable kernel drivers, while packages usually contain application programs. There is one package, "modules.lrp", that you typically customize for your system by putting appropriate modules in it. Note that many (if not most) LEAF kernels have compiled-in serial support, so the use of the loadable version of the driver (serial.o) is not very common. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
