thank you for helping out! :)
Although I might have to start another thread on freebsd-stable@, 
because my actual task here is to get 9.1-RELEASE up and running on this 
hardware (HP G8 Blade, and/or Dell M620 blade). 9.1-RELEASE weirdly 
enough gives me no serial output whatsoever. With identical loader 
settings. Well...
I just thought I'd give -CURRENT a try and realized this problem and 
then thought I might as well continue here, since -CURRENT will be 
10.0-REL someday...

I'm going to give it a try, although it'll be quite hard.
I'm at a serial console via ssh on a HP blade with 9600 baud. I do 
wonder whether I can see anything while trying to get to the boot 
prompt. Let alone how to send a ctrl alt esc sequence via this line.

hm. I broke too early into the loader, did I?

FreeBSD/x86 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)boot
boot: boot -dNo boot

I'm going to continue trying to boot with -d and then break to the 
debugger. Let's see how long it'll take me on this serial line. Yuk.
And I don't dare trying the Java applet for VGA. This one's even more 
difficult with regards to input/output.

Later,
./Marian
