> What is the easiest fastest way to accomplish this?
1) make or buy an A/B conversion cable (the DB25F connector on the rear
have 2 serial port on it)
2) connect some serial equipment to the port A (ttyS0), 9600,8,N,1,
software flow control (XON/XOFF).
3) remove from /etc/inittab all occurrencies of getty listening on
pseudoterminals (tty1, tty2, ...)
4) add instead a correct line to use getty (or mgetty) on the serial
line ttyS0.
For me:
1:345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:3:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
5) unplug keyboard and monitor
Clearly before 3) make sue that 4) works... ;-)))
