console on sioN (not 0), RELENG_6

2006-04-27 Thread Dmitry Morozovsky
Colleagues,

what should I do to drift serial console from sio0 to sio4 on puc (alas, com1 
is broken on given motherboard, and there is no com2)? Quick googling and 
looking through the Handbook does not help much.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]

look like impossible.

handbook.
22.6.5.2 Using Serial Port Other Than sio0 for the Console

Edit /etc/make.conf and set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT to the address of the
port you want to use (0x3F8, 0x2F8, 0x3E8 or 0x2E8). Only sio0 through
sio3 (COM1 through COM4) can be used; multiport serial cards will not
work. No interrupt setting is needed.

It seems (looking at kernel config lines) that this is true for RELENG_4 times; 
I hope something improved over time ;-)

 Thanks in advance.

What I've done:

* Create or update /boot.config to include a line that reads -P (or
  -DP).

* Update /boot/device.hints to remove the 0x10 flag from sio.0.  (Not
  sure that's needed, but)  Add that flag to sio.N (sio.4, in your
  case).

* Assuming(!) you want to be able to login to the device, update
  /etc/ttys to have a getty running on ttydN (ttyd4, in your case).

The above is based on my experiences with machines using the Intel
SE7520JR2 system board, which provides an RJ45 port on the back for
Serial B.

Peace,
david
