Prompted by docs/12343, in which people seemed to get a little confused. The original text in the file said: [...] # By default we use COM1 as our serial console port *if* we're going to use # a serial port as our console at all. (0x3E8 = COM2) # #BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x3F8 [...] From what I can make out, some people have assumed that means that if they just uncomment the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT then it will use COM2: These same people then assume that "0x3F8" on that line is a typo for "0x3E8". What it actually means is that if you uncomment the line then the default stays as "Ox3F8" (COM1:), and that you have to uncomment the line, *and* change the value of the variable in order to use COM2:. So I've made that a little bit clearer. I've also listed the hex values for COM1: thru COM4:, snarfed from sys/isa/isareg.h. PR: docs/12343 Submitted by: Bill Grunfelder <wjgrun@dippy.cyberwar.com> |
