Hi,

I am trying to start Nodejs in repl mode. I try it first in GUI (/dev/console) and it works successfully.
I then try to run it in the console (/dev/ttyS0) and it throws a strange error.

The ISO file can be obtained from here: linux.iso

I noticed that when I redirect Node's output to a file, I don't get an error:

Using it this way, it takes the inputs from ttyS0 and appends the outputs to a file. I think the problem is caused by stdin or stdout.

I found the solution, the problem is that the ttyS0 terminal has no dimensions.

root$ stty size
stty: standard input

After typing the dimensions it now works fine:

root$ stty cols 80 rows 25

root$ stty size
25 80

Thanks.
