Re: O2 post-install boot: Requires serial console, is already on one

Hi, gang,

Dusting off an O2/5000 here, and having some trouble trying to get
NetBSD running on it. The installation process goes like clockwork:
perfect CDROM boot, disk partitioned, packages installed happily. When
the system boots, though, I get this:

The problem is that the system IS on a serial console: I've done the
entire installation and reboot process over Serial1, and everything
goes swimmingly up to that point. I've tried this with 4.0-RELEASE and
4.0-CURRENT (the snapshot posted above), and get exactly the same
results both times. Anyone seen this?

Happy to post hinv/printenv if it'll help!

In ARCS, what is the value of 'ConsoleOut'?

Cheers,
Jared
