Don't forget that you need a getty running on ttyS0... and add /dev/ttyS0
to /etc/securetty to be able to login as root over serial line.
my silo.conf has the line:
append="console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 video=atyfb:off" and
my /etc/inittab has this:
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -I '\033(K' ttyS0 9600
But I'm not redirecting anything to RSC -- I use the actual serial port to get
console. I use RSC just to turn on/off the machine remotely. Even though it
shouldn't matter much if you've set input-device, output-device and
diag-device to rsc.
Give me a few hours to try redirecting to rsc and I'll post back. I did it
once before, but didn't know how to get back from the console to rsc's menu.
And sending a break signal was kinda iffy.
