console redirection during

2007-08-16 Thread Vallard Benincosa
Does anybody know how to enable console redirection through the serial
port during a FreeBSD 6.2 jumpstart install?  I searched documentation
but didn't come up with anything.  Thanks for any help.

First, make sure the bios is redirection the traffic to console

In the /boot/loader.conf file, place the following lines

  console=comconsole
  comconsole_speed=115200


Edit the file /etc/ttys so it has the following

  ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 vt100   on  secure


Edit the file /boot.conf so it has the following

  -D -h
