Description Erik Scrafford 2002-12-03 18:54:26 UTC 
serial console should have vt100 (or something similar) for the TERM type, not 
linux (linux is for consoles). the following line in inittab needs to be 
changed:

c0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 linux

to 

c0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100

Im guessing you mean that line have to be added ?
Comment 2 Erik Scrafford 2002-12-04 14:38:00 UTC 
the c0 line was there when i did a serial console sparc install - not sure if 
it's there on other types of installs

Ok, see now, it was added by a sparc dev to baselayout's src_unpack if building
for sparc ... will fix in a bit.

I fixed it so long for a local copy, should make it for next baselayout.
Comment 5 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-25 17:56:25 UTC 
Fixed in current stable baselayout ...
