No opportunity is given for login to the serial console except during the boot process. When I interrupt the boot for a prompt, and do "show", I see console=comconsole, which looks promising; completing the boot displays all messages to serial, then terminates its output with a date string, and then no response. login: then appears on the internal console. That's about all I know. Can anyone shed light? I've tried -P, -h, and -Dh alternately in /boot.config, same results. This is FBSD 4.0. I'm working on upgrading to 4.2, but the downloads are squortchy(tm) right now.
