Headless System via serial port?

[Minnesota Slinky]

Hey!  That worked.  I have it setup as -Dh in my boot.config file and
added the lines you mentioned.  Everything works great!

Thanks greatly for the help!

You also need to turn on ttyd0 in /etc/ttys:

ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on secure

Then send init a HUP.
