Was playing around with an old serial terminal but all I had for cabling
was a USB RS-232 adapter. I can do the following and get a login:
#/etc/ttys
ttyU0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure local
So that works but one doesn't get to interact with the bootloader nor
see the subsequent boot process; for that one needs to specify a port in
/etc/boot.cfg using 'consdev' but my reading of boot.cfg(5) and boot(8)
only show the following 'consdev' options:
com[0-3], com[0-3]kbd, auto
Should "auto" work or is there some other way to specify a USB connected
serial terminal for console?
