For us this means we have to either stop using FreeBSD or buy different hardware. Obviously for us, this means the latter, and after comparing 2 test boxes, supermicros work over serial as expected. Given the licence costs for iDrac (and that we have several R220's with no out of band access) i still hope someone will take a look at this? I also suspect this is not restricted to R220's but all 13th generation Dells.
