@ -489,7 +489,7 @@ Use `ps` to make sure that a `getty` process is running and serving the terminal
If no `getty` process is running, make sure the port is enabled in [.filename]#/etc/ttys#. Remember to run `kill -HUP 1` after modifying [.filename]#/etc/ttys#.
If the `getty` process is running but the terminal still does not display a login prompt, or if it displays a prompt but will not accept typed input, the terminal or cable may not support hardware handshaking. Try changing the entry in [.filename]#/etc/ttys# from `std.38400` to `3wire.38400`, then run `kill -HUP 1` after modifying [.filename]#/etc/ttys#. The `3wire` entry is similar to `std`, but ignores hardware handshaking. The baud rate may need to be reduced or software flow control enabled when using `3wire` to prevent buffer overflows.

The `3wire` entry is similar to `std`, but ignores hardware handshaking. The bps may also need to be reduced or software flow control enabled when using `3wire` to prevent buffer overflows.
If garbage appears instead of a login prompt, make sure the terminal and FreeBSD agree on the bps rate and parity settings. Check the `getty` processes to make sure the correct _getty_ type is in use. If not, edit [.filename]#/etc/ttys# and run `kill -HUP 1`.
