I have read this document before and I went over it just a minute ago as a
refresher. Still, I cannot find an answer to my problem.
I can get lilo and the kernel to print to the serial port. And I can get
"getty" to start on the serial lin. But, I cannot get stuff written out
to console (like the initscritps messages or the logon in single user
mode) to come out. That is my problem. I want /everything/ to come out
on the serial line.
The only way I have found to fix this problem is to remove /dev/console
and re-mknod it as the serial line. I agree this is an ugly hack and if
you know of a better way, then I would love to hear it. But this hack
which I normally do does not work under devfs.
