Taking a quick look at the changes introduced in Karl Swartz's patch, it appears that hardware flow-control is turned on for the tty ports. Does this mean the kernel won't boot unless I wire up the CTS/RTS and DTR/DSR pins on the console? Sverre -- Sverre Froyen sverre@seri.gov, sunpeaks!seri!sverre

DTR/DCD will be enabled at some point in the future. -- Dave Rand {pyramid|mips|bct|vsi1}!daver!dlr Internet: dlr@daver.bungi.com
