Try: set hint.sio.0.flags="0x00" set hint.sio.1.flags="0x90" The first line clears the flags that tells the kernel that com1 is to be used as a serial console.

Can I build > ia64 kernel under ia32 freebsd environment? If can, how to do? You can. Start a buildworld for ia64 on some i386 machine like this: cd /usr/src; make buildworld TARGET_ARCH=ia64 Once the buildworld has passed the point of building the cross-tools, you can start building a kernel, like this: cd /usr/src; make buildkernel TARGET_ARCH=ia64 When in doubt as to when you can start the kernel build, wait for the world build to finish (can take 2 hours). > Besides, intel tiger 4 support ehci usb and lsi53c1030 scsi.

NetBSD has it and we keep our USB implementation roughly the same, so it shouldn't be too hard to port it over. The SCSI controller is supported by the mpt(4) driver. It works fine.
