Subject: Booting a PowerStack-II on a serial line
Date: Sun, 7 Feb 1999 10:01:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199902071501.KAA01352@wogglebug.cygnus.com> (raw)
Is there any way I can tell at the shell level whether or not the
PowerStack-II machine was booted via a serial line or with a
monitor/keyboard? I normally boot the machine via the serial line,
and discovered that the gettys for the virtual console were respawning
without end. I edited the inittab to remove them, and put a normal
login at 9600 baud on /dev/ttyS0 on runlevel 3, but was wondering if
there was a way to switch automatically.
Also, I found I can't compile with the console on a serial line and
mac serial option (ie, can't use the common pmac/prep/mxb mode, I had
to use the prep/mxb mode) due to both trying to define the same
function.
