I have some servers with IPMI that allow me to have a serial console. I have setup a serial console config on my servers and it seems to work reasonably well in remote emergencies, but causes serious problems if I ever have to use the real console. It means that I can't use single user mode from the real console and I can't see most boot errors. Is there a way I can turn off the console redirection from the physical console interactively on startup? Running FreeBSD 7. Console config: --------------- barium# cat /boot.config -DS19200 barium# cat /boot/loader.conf comconsole_speed="19200" boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" console="comconsole,vidconsole"
