Hi all

My first post to this list. :-)
Just got myself a net5501 and have installed IPCOP on it.
All seams to be working OK apart from when I try and boot without
the serial cable plugged in. It just refuses to boot. But when you
connect up the cable during the boot is just continues.


IPCOP uses grub. Here the grub.conf

serial --unit=0 --speed=19200
terminal --timeout=10 serial console
timeout 5
default saved
foreground = 16064e
background = ffffff
# splashimage (hd0,0)/grub/ipcop.xpm.gz
title IPCop
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 panic=10 acpi=off ro ide=nodma
ramdisk_size=65536 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200
savedefault


BIOS settings are

comBIOS Monitor. Press ? for help.
