[comp.sys.nsc.32k] led+tty patch from Swartz

sverre@lars.Seri.GOV (Sverre Froyen ) (09/21/90)

After applying the led and tty patch from Karl Swartz and recompiling
init and login, I get absolutely nothing when I try to boot.  No
tty output, no disk activity, nothing.  The older version runs fine.
Before I start digging in to this, has anyone else tried the patch
and are there any problems to look out for.

Yes. Hardware flow control is enabled - if you don't support this on
your computer, you must link RTS and CTS on the serial cable.
