Subject:   Serial console only refreshes 1 line of text

I recently installed FreeBSD over serial on a GX280 (no PS/2 ports and
ACPI conflicts using boot with usb keyboard option).  After installing
I changed my ttys to

ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown on secure
ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
...

As talked about in the handbook 20.6.5.4 Getting a Login Prompt on the
Serial Console

When I finish the setup and reboot, I get the loader prompt where I
select to boot with ACPI disabled.  After which I get one line of text
that refreshes itself.  The other lines remain the same- showing the
loader.  Below is a screenshot of what I am getting.

Though I am not completely new to FreeBSD, this is the first time I
have had to rely on using the serial console to do anything.  Is there
something in my configuration that would be causing this problem?

Thanks for the help,
-John
