Haven't touched syslog.conf but this all happens before syslog is even starting. The problem is that the console is VGA, even though I have "console=comconsole" AND boot.config containing "-h" AND sio.0.flags 0x30. Has anyone actually gotten a serial console to work with FreeBSD 7.2-release? I'm having the same problems with 7-STABLE. Sven
