Re: [Etherboot-developers] Need Help: How to get the RJ45 serial console output

Michael,

How to build the image to use the standard console? Just comment out 
this line?

#CFLAGS+=       -DCONSOLE_DUAL -DCOMCONSOLE=0x3F8 -DCONSPEED=9600

I can see the BIOS output from the tipline console, but not etherboot.

Thanks,
Joyce
