Maksym, you need to start a getty process on the serial line,
by editing /etc/ttys like this:


console none                            unknown off secure
ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure
ttyv1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure
ttyv2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure
ttyv3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure
ttyv4   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure
ttyv5   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure
ttyv6   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure
ttyv7   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  on secure
ttyd1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure
ttyd2   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure
ttyd3   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure

In /stand/sysinstall (or /usr/sbin/sysinstall), you can edit
ttys.

I'm running 5.2-CURRENT on net4801 Soekris hardware, and this
is exaclty what is needed to get login prompt on the serial
console.

Good luck!

cpghost.
