There are two basic problems with comconsole. 1. CD boot and uses vidconsole unconditionally despite of the fact that system misses a keyboard. I remember, 3.x had -P flag in /boot.config and switched to serial port automatically. 2. I managed to command 'set console=comconsole' in the boot loader prompt. Installation completed smoothly. After reboot it had console=comconsole in the loader configuration (but still no -P in /boot.config), that was good. However, there were no getty on /dev/console nor on /dev/cuaa0. That's bad. >How-To-Repeat: Try to install 4.9-RELEASE using serial console. >Fix: Add '-P' to /boot.config and teach sysinstall to edit /etc/ttys to run getty on serial console. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
