Or you can use 'remote console' to do all remotely:
 - add 'cuaa0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" cons25 on secure' line to
   '/etc/ttys' and 'kill -HUP 1'
-- now you should have getty prompt on COM1
 - connect COM1 to any terminal server (such as CISCO-2509/2511) and
   configure terminal server port to 9600,8,N,1
 - add 'console="comconsole"' to /boot/loader.conf
 - connect to terminal server remotely (for CISCO use 'telnet <CISCO_IP>
   2001' to connect to system attached to CISCO's ASYNC-1 port)
-- now reboot you system (may be done remotely via ssh) and see booting
   process on your terminal server connection.

Some server platforms (such as Intel ISP-XXXX) can be cofigured to
redirect BIOS input/output to COM1, so you can remotely configure BIOS and
add-on cards with theis BIOSes (such as Adaptec SCSI, IDE RAID, etc) via
that 'remote console'.
