I have an N440BX motherboard that, when using console redirection (so the
BIOS messages and such come over the serial port), displays the following:

BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS 635kB/523200kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8
(root@web-b1.pa.bmarts.com, Wed Oct  4 15:01:32 PDT 2000)
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf

BTX halted

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. The problem seems somewhat
intermittent. It doesn't *always* happen but it often does. If I hit the
reset switch, it seems to boot reliably from there.

This system (actually systems. It's more than one so I know it's not
hardware) booted perfectly until I enabled the console redirection.
Nothing on the box has changed other than that.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.
