I am now booting the EXACT same kernel in VMware (so actually have a
null-modem set up to another laptop to get into the loader), and get
this: boot0 and the loader display on the serial console.. but the
kernel starts on the VGA console (VMware)! Even though I have "-h" in
boot.config and console=comconsole, as depicted above!

Maybe this is happening on the ALIX too and it actually boots but
never displays anything. Does anyone know how that might be happening?

Marten: your image boots fine! Kernel boots up etc. Nice to see
FreeBSD 8.0 in action ;-)
