I previously had the serial console misconfigured and I'm still not
sure if the settings are correct now.

So far I put "BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=3D57600" in /etc/make.conf,
"options CONSPEED=3D57600" in the kernel and "console=3Dcomconsole"
in /boot/loader.conf. Kernel and bootblock were recompiled
and reinstalled. /boot.config contains the line:
"-D -h -S57600" (speed setting through make.conf didn't work).

The boot process now starts with:

PXELINUX 3.11 2005-09-02  Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H. Peter Anvin
Booting from local disk...

1   Linux
2   FreeBSD
3   FreeBSD

Default: 2=20

/boot.config: -DConsoles: internal video/keyboard  serial port =20
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS 639kB/523200kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
[...]

After manually triggering a test panic through debug.kdb.enter
I could enter ddb and everything seemed to be working.

However today I got another hang and couldn't enter the debugger
by sending BREAK. It is the same BREAK ssh sends with ~B, right?

Even after rebooting, sending break didn't trigger a panic,
so either I'm sending the wrong BREAK, or my console settings
are still messed up. Any ideas?
