Hello List,

I have been successfully communicating to an Alpha and Sparc64 via serial tty00 and tty01 in fvwm term as root # cu -l tty00

When I try to set this at boot there is a blinking cursor
boot> set tty com0
switching to serial console com0
_

I have tried editing /etc/ttys
tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt220 on secure

This is on 3.8-beta i386

I don't know if I understand that a host i386 is unable to do this at boot time.

This is on an IBM x220

Any assitance on this is appreciated.

Here is my ttys file, let me know if any other info. is required.

Thank you,

rogern
