Changing the console COM port in freeBSD 7
I am trying to get virtual serial boot console working with ilo
standard on a
proliant DL380G4.
Since the ILO reserves COM1, I need to redirect the console to COM2
and
reconfigure the boot parameters. The BSD handbook says to use this
line
in the kernel configuration file:
device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 flags 0x10 irq 3
but config reports a syntax error on this line. Is the handbook in
error? Do I need to set the flags for sio1 in the HINTS file? What is
the correct way to change the com port?
Thanks,

Hi,
You dont need to modify the kernel anymore. You just need to
adjust the /boot/device.hints
Change
hint.sio.0.flags="0x10"
to
hint.sio.1.flags="0x10"
