No, nothing. When I type ~# it simply displays ~ character.

On sparc64 machine, the keyboard is plugged in, so the input goes via keyboard 
and output via Creator3D framebuffer. Maybe I need to reboot the machine and 
unplug the keyboard? But then how am I supposed to start Xserver? I'm trying to 
find out whey the kernel crashes when I run xmms with faad plugin on sparc64.

What I want to do is login multiuser, start X11 and setup serial console from 
i386, run xmms, crash the kernel and look on serial console what happens.

Maybe I need to edit /etc/ttys file to enable serial console? Which lines do I 
need to add?
