How do you get tinit to start login or a shell on a serial port?

Read the tinit online doc, there is a nice example for doing
exactly that.

I’m faced with the same problem:
‘tinit’ invokes a login prompt on ‘/dev/con1’, but not on ‘/dev/ser2’.
Can somebody tell me please if a problem with the combination ‘tinit’
and serial ports has become known?

Some additional details:
The command ‘on -t /dev/ser2 login’ makes actually a login prompt. So
the hardware seems ok. (If the shell is exited a new login prompt is of
course not invoked.) The serial driver is started in ‘/.boot’ with
‘devc-ser8250 -e -f -u2 -b115200 2f8,3 &’. (’/dev/ser1’ will be used for
another purpose later.) The terminal program on host side is started
with ‘qtalk -b115200 -m/dev/ser2’. I’m using Patch B.

Thanks in advance.
