Hi.
I'm trying to login via null modem cable
from FreeBSD to NetBSD Sparc64 on a U5.
I have tried all sorts of changes to this file to no
avail. The PC style serial port on this U5 is "com1"
i.e. the second port. Am I getting warm here? tip and
cu on FreeBSD tell me I'm connected no matter what I
have set up but they are lying because I never get
anything like an interactive session or login prompt.
I have been able to setup serial connections between
i386 and i386 freenixes before. I'm wondering if there
is something Sparc specific I'm missing.
I run ttyflags and kill -1 1 every time I change anything
on the Sparc.
console "/usr/libexec/getty suncons" sun-ss5 on secure
ttya "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
ttyb "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
ttyh0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
ttyh1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" sun-ss5 on secure
ttyp0 none network
ttyp1 none network
