At the top of the lilo.conf file put the line: serial=X,9600N8 where X is the tty port that you are connecting to. Note the N must be in uppercase. Lilo will then echo what is in your /boot/message to the desired tty as well as to the screen. Good luck! Stephen Dawes B.A. B.Sc. Web Business Office, The City of Calgary PHONE: (403) 268-5527.
