I did a fresh install of 10.1-RELEASE on my APU4 over serial console and
it pretty much "just worked". Before finishing the install I just added
to loader.conf:

boot_serial="YES"
console="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"


and to /etc/ttys:

ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100   on  console secure

and it fully functions.


It was nice that I didn't need to work any magic to install over serial
-- that part worked perfectly fine.
