I'm doing a Net-Boot from my Linux machine. Problem: When I boot the BSD kernel, it reports: "Using Monitor/Keyboard as console" when in reality I'm using the 1st serial port as a console. How can I change this? Do I have to get a different kernel (where)? I didn't want to go through the trouble of getting a monitor and keyboard until BSD would boot... any suggestions? There's a switch on the back of the Sun that brings it up in diagnostic mode. If you "b le()/netbsd" from the diagnostic monitor I think that it will use the serial port as the console.
