I have the floppy drive here myself (well, to be honest, now for a couple of days I've exchanged together with my Ultra1/FFB for another Ultra1/cg6), but I haven't yet had time to dig into that. > > > > tty_io.c: process 1 (init) used obsolete /dev/cua1 - update > > > software to use /dev/ttyS1 > > > > Ok, this is my bug (well, laziness on my part) in that I have > > not fixed the setserial package to omit overwriting /dev/console > > device, so that serial installs do the above.
