Hey guys,
I'm running a null modem cable from my PC to my AlphaStation 200.
Whenever I reboot my PC, it performs a full reset(like a cold boot), and
this causing the NetBSD current kernel to crash (goes to db> ).. I'm
assuming the reboot of the PC is changing the voltages on the serial port
lines or something which netbsd takes as a break or something.. is there
anyway I can tell it to ignore this(either through hardware or software?).
Thanks a lot..
-Todd
