It is also possible to use a spare computer as a serial
console for BL3. You need three things:
(1) a null-modem (serial) cable
(2) the passwd.tgz add-on package for BL3
(3) commo (DOS com program) for the spare computer

http://www.filegate.net/comm/commo75.zip

On BL3 computer, do this:
---------------------------------
plug null-modem cable into COM1 # COM2
pkg passwd
/sbin/getty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt100 & # ttyS1
---------------------------------

On spare computer, do this:
-------------------------------
plug null-modem cable into COM1 # COM2
unzip commo75.zip
edit commo.set
--> *{bps=9600}
--> *{fmt=8n1}
--> *{por=1} # por=2
--> *{emu=V}
execute: commo
press ENTER
-------------------------------

Cheers,
Steven
