Hi,

I am trying to install NetBSD 1.6.2 on a Digital Alphastation 200.
The cd is broken, so I am trying to install over a serial line
connected to a Linux machine. 

My problem is getting the connection to work. First of all I am
not sure which /dev/tty? corresponds to the serial port. A search
of the archives gave the suggestion /dev/ttyB0 but trying

# slattach /dev/ttyB0 
slattach: /dev/ttyB0: Device not configured

other /dev/ttys give similar error messages, except /dev/ttyC0
where the slattach works, but I still get no connection. 

Any suggestions appreciated!
