how to setup serial console on my mac?



Hi,

I tried doing this some time ago and failed, I thought I'll have a go again...

I'm trying to setup my mac so I can access console via /dev/ttyZ0 and /dev/ttyZ1

I have following in my /etc/ttys
console "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  vt100   off secure
ttyE0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on secure
ttyZ0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  vt100   on secure
ttyZ1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  vt100   on secure

If I set dummy output-device in open firmware it causes mac to input/output 
everything to modem port (/dev/ttyZ0), mac boots ok and I'm able to logon:
Nov 29 15:21:10 wally getty[474]: /dev/ttyE0: Device not configured

Terminal type is vt100.

but if I set right output-device and get my console on /dev/ttyE0 I can no 
longer use /dev/ttyZ0 to connect.

I had a look at Linux Serial Console HOWTO 
[http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/Serial/serial-console.html] but it uses agetty, 
I couldn't find any files containing agetty:
wally# grep agetty `find /etc/`; echo $?
1

Can somebody please help me to set this up?
