Hi all, I have my firewall box (4.5-RELEASE) sending its boot messages to the serial console, using -P in /boot.config. Am I supposed to be able to use the console to get a log in? It would be handy, as I have a two-way KVM switch, and three machines - if the only single-boot, functionally- dedicated machine could be booted and used over the console, I wouldn't have to keep smacking the back of my head on the underside of my desk as I change cables over! I can't find any more notes about this in the docs or Google, so thought I'd turn to y'all for help. Thanks for any insights.
