[syslinux] FreeBSD-6.2 and pxelinx

[Pascal Vandeputte]

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
