Wetmore) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: serial at n,8,1 and swap space Message-ID: <ceqQSFq00XQQEfac0H@andrew.cmu.edu> Date: 12 Oct 92 10:44:33 GMT Article-I.D.: andrew.ceqQSFq00XQQEfac0H Organization: Sophomore, Math/Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 18 I have been running 386bsd for a few months now and have asked these two questions a few times, but still haven't gotten things working. 1) How can I get terminals talking at n,8,1. Someone told me to recompile getty after changing /usr/include/sys/ttydefaults.h to reflect my wanted values, but this only worked until I ran a curses application (vi), at which point 386bsd started talking at e71 again. I need n,8,1 mode to get fast enough multitasking transfers on an amiga that I have hooked up. 2) When I installed 386bsd I left space that is unpartitioned on my hd for swap space (not thinking that install would do this for me). I still have 6 megs unpartitioned, so I was wondering if I could use this as swap space. Someone told me to run disklabel -e, and change the partitions, but this seemed to be editing logical bsd paritions, not the hd partitions. alex
