display boot process to LCD..
 

Hello.. I have hooked up a matrixorb bvl202-a to my system, I'd also like to see the boot stuff on this lcd screen. (for example "Starting console mouse services [ok]") is this possible?

A quick google didn't find any info on this LCD. Can you post a website or info?

How does it connect to the PC?

heh i spelled it wrong :)
heres the link.

i didnt think the model would be necessary so i didnt post link before.
I changed the

*.kernel /dev/console
to
*.kernel /dev/ttyS0
in the /etc/syslogd.conf
and now at boot i see lots of gibrrish being output to the screen, still cant get all the data in human readable form.
Thx
Rohan

sure.. that's actually easy to do using lilo

in short, put
serial=ttyS1,9600
console=ttyS1,9600
or something like that
