So, I have been having a problem getting devfs to allow me to make
/dev/console redirected to the serial port.
On an non devfs system, I simply removed /dev/console and then re-mknod it
to be c 4 64 which corresponds to ttyS0. Under devfs, check out what
happens:
[root@tigershark /root]# ls -l /dev/console
crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Aug 4 11:09 /dev/console
[root@tigershark /root]# rm /dev/console
rm: remove `/dev/console'? y
[root@tigershark /root]# ls -l /dev/console
ls: /dev/console: No such file or directory
[root@tigershark /root]# mknod /dev/console c 4 64
[root@tigershark /root]# ls -l /dev/console
crw------- 0 root root 5, 1 Aug 4 11:09 /dev/console
[root@tigershark /root]# rm /dev/console
rm: remove `/dev/console'? y
[root@tigershark /root]# ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/console
[root@tigershark /root]# ls -l /dev/console
crw------- 0 root root 5, 1 Aug 4 11:09 /dev/console
Devfs seems to be stopping me from making /dev/console anything else. I
looked through the devfsd.conf documentation and I was unsure how or if is
was possible to configure this there. Does anybody have any insight on
how to make this possible?
Thanks,
