>Use /dev/cua0
Echoing to cua0, rather than ttys0, no longer yields an input/output
error. The output, however, does not appear on the terminal which is
plugged into COM1. I have tried with and without a null modem connector
in series with the cable.
As a point of curriosity, what's the practical difference between ttys0
and cua0?
>put this in your /etc/inittab:

>s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty cua0
I tried running this command from the console first (to test it before
modifying how the system boots). Nothing appeared on the terminal, but
"local host login" appaared on the console.
