If you use linux as a desktop and wish to get a boot log this is how to do it:
$ sudo aptitude install -y ckermit
add the following to a file dbox.tty
#!/usr/bin/kermit
set modem type none
set carrier-watch off
set line /dev/ttyS0
set speed 9600
set line /dev/ttyS0
set speed 9600
set terminal bytesize 8
set parity none
set stop-bits 1
set flow none
connect
quit
Or if you like me and use a USB 2 Serial converter it would be something like this:
#!/usr/bin/kermit
set modem type none
set carrier-watch off
set line /dev/ttyUSB0
set speed 9600
set line /dev/ttyUSB0
set speed 9600
set terminal bytesize 8
set parity none
set stop-bits 1
set flow none
connect
quit
$ chmod 755 dbox.tty
$ sudo ./dbox.tty
hit enter and you will have access to your dbox via serial.
--me
$ sudo aptitude install -y ckermit
add the following to a file dbox.tty
#!/usr/bin/kermit
set modem type none
set carrier-watch off
set line /dev/ttyS0
set speed 9600
set line /dev/ttyS0
set speed 9600
set terminal bytesize 8
set parity none
set stop-bits 1
set flow none
connect
quit
