Hi all,
A recent thread inspired me to try getting a proper serial console =
working on a Supermicro X9SCL motherboard with IPMI.

However I find that while I see loader messages and the getty I enabled  =
after boot I don't get any kernel messages which does somewhat limit the =
utility..

The BMC creates COM3 (/dev/cuau2) which works with getty. I modified =
/boot/loader.conf like so..
boot_multicons=3D"yes"
boot_serial=3D"YES"
console=3D"comconsole vidconsole"
comconsole_speed=3D"115200"
# Disable console flags on these 2 ports
hint.uart.0.flags=3D"0x00"
hint.uart.1.flags=3D"0x00"
# Set console flag
hint.uart.2.flags=3D"0x10"

Does anyone have any hints?
