Subject:   Serial console on sio3

I would like to use sio3 as my serial console and automatically using the
serial console.

I changed BOOT_COMCONSOLE to the right value did a make clean, make, make
install in /sys/boot/i386, reconfig'd and built the kernel, set
/boot.config to contain -h.

It mostly works.

What happens is that after selecting the partition(slice), it prints the
"-h" and opens sio0!, since I have a mouse on that port, the boot hangs.  
If I disconnect the mouse before booting, the boot succeeds.

the system is 4.0 current from  this week.

any hints?
