Serial connection to Olive box
Hello,
I tried to setup an Olive box on a dedicated PC (DellGX50), not with VMware. I followed the instructions:
Juniper Olive Install: Juniper Olive
but the problem is that I can't connect to the box from my PC by the console connection. I have NULL Modem cable, connected between COM1 ports on the both boxes, but after I start minicom it just stays offline and don't receive anything. Bps/Par/Bits is "9600 8N1" I also tried another combinations even tried it from Windows XP's HyperTerminal but stil can't connect. Do I miss something? Should I make some configuration changes on the FreeBSD before installing Junos to allow serial connections?

It sounds like your pinouts might be incorrect with the null modem cable you are using.
To get console connections to my olives I've always just used DB9 adapters with a rollover cable. The pinouts used for the DB9 I took from sid smokes, Sid Smokes.
