I am running slackware1.1.1 on a 386 headless and keyboardless. When I originally setup the system I had both keyboard and video on the machine. I changed the sym link for /dev/console to point to /dev/ttys0 and attached a terminal to the system. It boots fine from the harddisk. I have a couple of questions. 1.) None of the messages are sent to the console until the kernel hits init. How can I build a kernel that will send the boot messages to the /dev/ttys0 rather than the video? 2.) In order for me to upgrade the system (over nfs) I need to boot from floppy to get the network enabled so I can nfs mount the disk with all the upgrade software. The problem I'm having si similar to the above, I don't have a keyboard or video so I can't hit return when the bootdisk prompts for you to enter the rootdisk. Is there a way around this, short of borrowing the video and keyboard to do the upgrade. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Carlos Mora e-mail: mora at bose.com Unix System Administrator phone : (508) 879-1916 x6437 Bose Corporation fax : (508) 820-4865 The Mountain Framingham, MA 01701-9168 ----------------------------------------------------------------
