[syslinux] - Re: FreeBSD-6.2 and pxelinx

[Oliver Klein]

Hi

yes i use only a serial console for installation. Now I follow your tip and customized the freebsd image (loader.conf) for using serial console and change the baudrate on the switch to 9600, cause the freebsd generic kernel use only 9600...and now it works fine :)...THX A LOT!

Mit freundlichem Gruß / Best regards

Hi,

"console=ttyS0,38400" tells me you're controlling things trough a serial line... Have you customized the ISO image so the rest of the boot process also runs everything on that serial line? If not, once the FreeBSD kernel is loaded, it will continue booting on the VGA console instead of the serial port. And you won't see a thing in your minicom/hyperterminal session.

Greetings,

Pascal Vandeputte
