Unfortunately that didn't seem to make any difference. :/ It's really a mystery; I've used this Wyse on Sparcs running NetBSD w/o any real fiddling, though I think those were designed to be serial console friendly, automagically switching if one was connected to the serial port. Also, I was looking through the mlist archives and saw mention that /dev/console was suppose to be replaced by /dev/constty ? Maybe that's the issue? Jeff
