There are 7 parts to this article:
\nPart 1 – Gentoo on SPARC – Booting the Install CD<\/a>
\nPart 2 – Gentoo on SPARC – Creating the Filesystems<\/a>
\nPart 3 – Gentoo on SPARC – Copying Initial System, Portage, and Distfiles<\/a>
\nPart 4 – Gentoo on SPARC – Creating the Kernel<\/a>
\nPart 5 – Gentoo on SPARC – Getting Silo Installed<\/a>
\nPart 6 – Gentoo on SPARC – Initial Logon<\/a>
\nPart 7 – Gentoo on SPARC – Final Configuration<\/a><\/p>\n

After the reboot we get the logon screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the messages are annoying. The problem is that getty (agetty) is having trouble with consoles on serial ports that aren’t really live. To fix this we need to modify \/etc\/inittab. Here is what it looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
# SERIAL CONSOLE\r\nc0:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100\r\n# TERMINALS\r\nc1:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty1 linux\r\nc2:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty2 linux\r\nc3:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty3 linux\r\nc4:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty4 linux\r\nc5:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty5 linux\r\nc6:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty6 linux\r\n# What to do at the \"Three Finger Salute\".\r\nca:12345:ctrlaltdel:\/sbin\/shutdown -r now\r\n# Used by \/etc\/init.d\/xdm to control DM startup.\r\n# Read the comments in \/etc\/init.d\/xdm for more\r\n# info.

We need to comment out the agetty lines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
# SERIAL CONSOLE\r\nc0:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100\r\n# TERMINALS\r\n#c1:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty1 linux\r\n#c2:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty2 linux\r\n#c3:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty3 linux\r\n#c4:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty4 linux\r\n#c5:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty5 linux\r\n#c6:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 38400 tty6 linux\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
In the final installment of this article, we will finish up the configuration<\/a>.<\/p>\n
