Hi,
sorry for the off-topic question, but I think some of the guys on this list
may have the solution (and the faster I solve this, the longer I'll hack
on NetBSD :)
I have some SunOS 4.1.4 machine which were installed from keyboard/screen,
and now I'd like to use a serial console for them (connected to
a serial port of a NetBSD machine).
I've set input and output to ttya in the PROM, and the serial console
work: I can see message from the PROM and type commands. I can also see
kernel boot messages. But once init is started, outputs of /etc/rc is
garbage on the serial console, just as if the speed, or number of
start/stop/parity bits were wrong. If I boot single user, I also get
garbage displayed, but what I type seems to be properly interpreted
(if I type 'halt' I get the ok prompt).
One the boot completes and getty is started, output is clean again and
I can log in without problems.
Any idea on how to solve this ?
