Please HELP! made mistake in boot.config

[Just_Johnny]

I'm using 8.0 Current

I was trying to enable serial login on one of my server. I did this

# echo "-S115200 –Dh" >> /boot.config

Now I cannot boot. It just says

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,1).Dh

What have I done?!


I've done this before a few times to access the terminal with a serial connection. Can anybody help?

At that prompt type: /boot/loader and press enter.
When you get your pc running, fix the boot.config file.

Also, from the boot.config man page:

The command:

# echo "-P" > /boot.config

will activate the serial console of FreeBSD.

Make sure your client also set to the same baudrate. Also remember there are a bunch of other options for a serial connection such as parity bit etc.
