RE: Setting up an ASCII terminal as a Console
add the following to your lilo.conf
append = "console=ttyS0,9600"
or whatever port you connecting to
then just run minicom

Subject: Setting up an ASCII terminal as a Console
I installed Debian Linux 2.2 on a machine at home that I want to configure
as a firewall. I don't have a monitor for this machine so I've been swapping
my monitor between this machine and my NT workstation. I do have an old
ASCII terminal from years back and it occurred to me that I should be able
to plug it into a serial port and configure it to be my system console. How
easy is this to do? Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me
how I can go about doing this?
Thanks!
Bruce
