Hi John, if you like to log in via RS-232 and you use Grub as bootloader, you need to add the following lines on top of the menu.lst: serial --unit=0 --speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal serial Also you need to add some statements to the kernel parameters like below: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.27-2-386 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro console=ttyS0,19200n8 append vga=normal initrd /initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386 savedefault boot This example works with ttyS0 (COM1 in Bios) an 19200bps. It works on my headless system fine! (Soekris net4501), you need to reboot!
