I'm running 6.2-pre on a Soekris Engineering Net4501 with ttyd0 enabled in /etc/ttys and I'm not having any problems with the system booting or logging in via serial console. SSH logins work fine and the network is brought-up as normal during boot. I've had this system in the same config (in regards to /etc/ttys) since the 6 was still the HEAD branch and I have yet to see problems with it. One difference here is that I don't have any virtual consoles enabled BUT ttyd0 (and pseudo-terminals), as this box doesn't have a video card, just a serial port.
