[OpenIndiana-discuss] Setup serial console on ttyc (the third serial port)

Goodmorning,

The output you requested is below.
As stated before grub works fine on the third port with these lines:
serial --unit=2 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=30 serial

Can you confirm a few thing for me?
-consplat.c is the only file which needs patching?
-kernel/misc/consconfig and kernel/misc/amd64/consconfig are the only
two binaries which need to be updated
-for testing only the two consconfig files can be replaced by copying
them from the proto area. No additional steps need to be done, like
creating a new BE. Nor do any other files need to be updated.
-the correct kernel line in menu.lst should look like this:
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -k -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=ttyc

Lastly can you help me build consconfig without running nightly.sh?
That will save quite some time.

Many thanks,
Frederik
