If you connect a serial cable, you must disconnect the keyboard.
which I did (or used console=ttya), but the point was that I got all
the kernel messages on the serial terminal up to the point where the
root filesystem was mounted, but I did not see anything from dbootstrap.
When you say "or used console=ttya", do you mean you physically
disconnected the keyboard? That's very very important. And yes, it will
make a difference between the kernel showing to serial and the
dbootstrap not.
I just did a serial cosnsole install two days ago using my tftp image,
on an ultrasparc 30, with no problems. So it isn't a bug in the
dbootstrap program.
