>(ie. 8E1 instead of 7E1)
In /etc/ttys you probably have a line for tty00 with getty std.9600
(or whatever baud rate you have on the port). The symbol 'std.9600' is
defined in /etc/gettytab - edit this file, copy the std entry and
call it '8bit.9600' - then follow the documentation in the comments at the
top of the file and add in 'np:' to the end (or whatever you need to
set 8bit properly).
Cheers
Leigh
