Hi
we use a configration similar to yours. You could try to follow our steps:

iLO installation
Follow the steps outlined in the HP document named:
"Integrated Lights-Out Virtual Serial Port configuration and
operation"

These are the main phases:
-enter iLO configuration during the boot
-configure IP address, admin user and other relevant settings

Bios

Follow the steps outlined in the HP document:
"Integrated Lights-Out Virtual Serial Port configuration and
operation"
These are the steps required:
-enter the BIOS configuration
-configure BIOS Serial Console

FreeBSD
Insert these lines in /boot/loader.conf:

hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole,vidconsole"

Modify /boot/device.hints with the new values for sio0:

hint.sio.0.at="isa"
hint.sio.0.port="0x408"
hint.sio.0.flags="0x10"
hint.sio.0.irq="4"

note the new values for the I/O port.
Edit /etc/make.conf and insert these new lines:

BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT="0x408"
BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED="115200"

Then recompile the boot loader:

# cd /sys/boot
# make clean
# make
# make install

reboot and enter ilo, then enter vsp.



Hope it's useful
