#13 No video over serial

[Gary Kramlich]

I'm PXE booting a DOS image via pxelinux, with the keeppxe kernel parameter (keeps the pxe and undi stack in memory) and using an UNDI packet driver.

This machine has no video card, so I'm connected to it over serial, on COM1 with a baud rate of 9600. Everything works fine, until I successfully login with ssh. It would appear that the machine is dead. However, on the machine running sshd, i see an ssh login process and a bash instance. If I kill the ssh login process, I will be dropped back to my c:\> prompt.

I suspect that either the tty is being changed, or your jumping into a different video mode even for 80x25, which then of course means it wouldn't get redirected out over the serial port.

I was wondering if/when we can expect a solution, either don't change graphics mode, or don't redirect the tty, so that this will work over serial?

Btw, awesome work, I was not excepting to find an ssh client for dos at all :)
