There are two basic problems with comconsole. 1. CD boot and uses vidconsole unconditionally despite of the fact that system misses a keyboard. I remember, 3.x had -P flag in /boot.config and switched to serial port automatically. 2. I managed to command 'set console=comconsole' in the boot loader prompt. Installation completed smoothly. After reboot it had console=comconsole in the loader configuration (but still no -P in /boot.config), that was good. However, there were no getty on /dev/console nor on /dev/cuaa0. That's bad. >How-To-Repeat: Try to install 4.9-RELEASE using serial console. >Fix: Add '-P' to /boot.config and teach sysinstall to edit /etc/ttys to run getty on serial console. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: From: Eugene Grosbein To: bug-followup@freebsd.org Cc: stable@freebsd.org, arch@freebsd.org, re@freebsd.org Subject: Re: bin/58951: Some problems with 4.9-RELEASE installation using comconsole Date: Sun, 8 Aug 2004 23:12:18 +0800 Hi!

This is partially fixed in HEAD: a getty is now enabled if the system doesn't have a VGA card installed. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=58951 State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: brucec State-Changed-When: Fri Jun 25 00:34:57 UTC 2010 State-Changed-Why: The presence of a keyboard cannot be determined at that stage of the boot process on modern machines because they tend not to have PS/2 keyboards installed, but use USB instead. If legacy USB support is disabled, the keyboard is only activated when the USB stack is loaded. The serial console will however still be enabled if a VGA card isn't found. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=58951 >Unformatted:
