   a free serial port on your pc.  this all runs at 9600 baud iirc.  simply run
   minicom and tell it to use whichever tty you plugged it into... no need to dial,
   the information will just show right up in minicom.. you will need to know how
   to 'break', on a pc in minicom, this is done with either alt-k or another key
   sequence which i don't remmeber off the top of my head.. this should get you
   going. good luck. and yes, netbsd will netboot on this configuration if you
   hvae the proper networking hardware (a hub, a 10BaseT transeiver, some cat5)

Or simply a properly configured 'cu' set up for direct connect.  ~# will
get you a real break.  Used this sort of thing for years.
