Colleagues,

what should I do to drift serial console from sio0 to sio4 on puc (alas, com1
is broken on given motherboard, and there is no com2)? Quick googling and
looking through the Handbook does not help much.

Thanks in advance.

What I've done:

* Create or update /boot.config to include a line that reads "-P" (or
"-DP").

* Update /boot/device.hints to remove the 0x10 flag from sio.0. (Not
sure that's needed, but....) Add that flag to sio.N (sio.4, in your
case).

* Assuming(!) you want to be able to login to the device, update
/etc/ttys to have a getty running on ttydN (ttyd4, in your case).

The above is based on my experiences with machines using the Intel
SE7520JR2 system board, which provides an RJ45 port on the back for
"Serial B".

Peace,
david
