Thanks Aaron - I don't believe that this is correct:

   Here is where you must set the floppy to boot into a serial console. You
   have to make a file called boot.config containing /boot/loader -h. All
   this does is pass a flag to the bootloader to boot into a serial
   console.

   # echo "/boot/loader -h" > boot.config

I've always used just "-h" here; I'll test it and update it if
necessary.  You're saying that it *does* work though?

Thanks for the response.
