Just reinstalled, but this time used standard bootblocks, as opposed
to serial ones. works fine, and I'm compiling a new kernel as a
test. serial terminal works fine though. I'm confused. Some kind of
weird serial bug? I've had this machine as a gateway with an isdn ta
and have had no problems whatsoever with linux using a serial console.

btw, is there a way to set a terminal in /etc/ttys as using clocal (ie
cable with only tx, rx and gnd, no flow control) I'm currently just
using cron to set clocal every minute (quite a nasty hack) freebsd
seems to have a capability in /etc/gettytab and you can use the -L
option in linux to getty. any netbsd equivalents?
