Me again, Trying to play with the serial port to see if I can get it to work, I just saw my box does not seem to care of /etc/boot.conf : when I "set timeout 20" (plus stty com0 9600 & set tty com0), my machine still decides to boot after 5 seconds.
So, my computer really does sorcerer-ish things... any clues on why I got no luck ? Could that be due to RAIDframe ? Or am I just some kind of idiot ?
