>Description:
On a PC with no keyboard or mouse or video,
After installing a kernel from ftp.freebsd.org using boot floppies, 
when the system reboots, it will not allow login on the COM1 port.
I was able to use a Cntl-C during the boot process to come up 
single user and modify the /etc/ttys file.  
>How-To-Repeat:
Need a PC with no keyboard or video or mouse, only a com1 port.
Then install FreeBSD.  There wasn't anything obvious that I could
configure in /stand/sysinstall to get around this.
