Hi Tim, i AM kATSUAKI. >you can just type 'linux console=/dev/ttys0' at the boot prompt, but I didn't >manage to get this working, possibly because I didn't have the right cable. i can install RedHat successfully, type like this: text console=ttyS0 Try it. Be careful, when you type ttyS0 the character 'S' is capital. Good luck.
