Hi,
How do I enable serial port console in NetBSD 1.3.2 (i386)? In the kernel
config file there's the line
options "CONSDEVNAME=\"com\"",CONADDR=0x3f8,CONSPEED=9600
Do I need to disable the corresponding com* port in the config file?
Do I need other options? options(4) mentions SERCONSOLE, but there
was no such option in the GENERIC file.
I also have to do this in NetBSD 1.2, but I _think_ I have the instructions
stored somewhere...

P.S. NetBSD runs fine on IBM ThinkPad 310E. Some minor problems with APM,
but I think those can be solved. Thanks for the good work!
