Hi,
The way that I understand this message is that the 1.6 beta 2 will suppor=
t the=20
DEC so that you don't have to use a serial console... However, when I boo=
t=20
from cd-rom using that image from 1.6 it still send me to a serial consol=
e.=20
Is there something else I have to do??

Thank,
Cj B
