Fellow NetBSD'ers,

	Now that I have my partition issues dealt with, and 1.5 running nicely on
this monster of a Compaq server, I find myself wanting to force the console
I/O to one of the serial ports on bootup. The man pages and existing FAQs
are unclear to me on this point.

	Questions:

	(1) Do I need to compile a custom kernel to do this?

	(2) If so, what do I change?

	(3) If not, is there a FAQ or HowTo that will walk me through the
appropriate process?

	Thanks much.
