Have -current running a serial console.
In /boot/loader.rc:
set console=comconsole
In /etc/ttys:
(stock setup for console)
console none unknown off secure
And the serial port:
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure
Is this the current best practice?
Just to nit pick, the curses support is not quite
perfect as the line drawing in the boot menu is
displayed as some non-alpha characters -wish I could
get it perfect..
Any thoughts on this setup are appreciated.
tnx
-kim
