Here are my notes on doing this with grub. Sets you up with a 38400bps, |
| 6 |
8-n-1 connection on serial0. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
add to /etc/inittab, under the TERMINALS section: |
| 9 |
s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 38400 vt100 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
make grub.conf look like this: |
| 12 |
default 0 |
| 13 |
timeout 10 |
| 14 |
serial --unit=0 --speed=38400 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 |
| 15 |
terminal --timeout=10 serial |
| 16 |

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.3 |
| 18 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 19 |
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.3 root=/dev/sda3 console=ttyS0,38400n8 |
| 20 |
devfs=mount |
| 21 |
