 I've tried to setup a serial console but couldn't get it working.

 I tried to setup a serial console to a FreeBSD/Alpha box from a
 Linux/i386 box using kermit or minicom connected by a commercial
 null-modem cable.

 First, I've made a new kernel with:
   device          sio0    at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4
 in the config file.
 According to the dmesg record I think it works.  (Attached)

 Then I made the /boot.config file with a '-Dh' line.

 After setting AUTO_ACTION to boot in SRM and removing the
 attached keyboard, it didin't boot.
 (After several blinks of underline cursor, it changed to a block
 cursor, and keep scilent)

 With the keyboard attached again, it boots as before, but nothing
 appeared in the kermit console connected to the Alpha box.

 What's wrong?
 I'd be happy if you kindly teach me how to get the serial console
 in a step-by-step manner.
