I recompiled the boot blocks with BOOT_FORCE_COMCONSOLE, but things
only sortof work.  It seems fine, and then it just hangs up on me...

romulus# cu -l /dev/cuaa1 -s 9600
Connected.

Serial console forced.
>> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 640/64512 k of memory
Usage: [[[0:][wd](0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdghrsv]
Use 1:sd(0,a)kernel to boot sd0 if it is BIOS drive 1
Use ? for file list or press Enter for defaults

Boot: kernel.yfg
dosdev= 80, biosdrive = 0, unit = 0, maj = 0
Booting 0:wd(0,a)kernel.yfg @ 0x100000

Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard
sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0cu: Got hangup signal

Disconnected.

This is right at the point that it should probe the serial port.
Is there something else special to do?  I noticed there are flags for
sio in current to make it a console, but not in 2.2.2.  How about ttys?


Thanks,
Chris
