in /boot/grub/menu.lst serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal serial (yes, that's two lines) I hope that helps. If you want the option of either serial or console access, replace the second line with terminal --timeout=10 serial console The default will be serial, but if you press a key on the console within 10 seconds, it will go there instead. -dsr-
