UPDATE....:oops:
So I rebuilt my ZFS drive and wouldn't you know it.... the lights are on but they don't show drive activity....well other than the one drive.... sigh... does this mean I need to look at sdparm now? my head hurts.. so much esoteric information.
UPDATE 2
Sadly, not that it was...
Oh man, I did it.....:eek: that took me several days... geez let's hope it survives a reboot
So I used Minicom
e.g. minicom -D /dev/ttyS1 -s
I made sure I used Fohdeesha's settings of 38400-8-n-1 plus software flow control

Hello all, first time posting so please forgive some of my transgressions, some feedback on what I could do better would be greatly appreciated.
