I'm having problems getting a magma 4 port serial card to work on a
simple, small scale dial-in server. I'm running the generic 1.5 kernel,
and 1.5 userland. The card is in a SS2. During boot I see:
...
magma0 at sbus0 slot 1 offset 0x0 level 7 softpri 6: Magma 4 Sp
mtty0 at magma0: 4 ttys
...
I've made sure I have the device files:
cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV magma0
I enabled them in /etc/ttys:
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600" unknown on
tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600" unknown on
tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600" unknown on
tty03 "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600" unknown on
I also tried std.9600 for the setting. I did 'kill -1 1' and also
later tried rebooting the machine. When i dial in, the modem picks up,
but I never see a login prompt. Now I'm at a bit of a loss on how to
proceed. I'm sure the cables are correct because this setup worked (when
the software wasn't crashing) under solaris before I nuked it and rebuilt
the machine with netbsd.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
