I want to be able to log in via the DB9 port and alos I want console messages to continue to output to the VGA card as well. Adding the following: echo 'console="comconsole"' >> /boot/loader.conf stops the dumping of console messages to the VGA during boot. What changes do I need to make to make that happen? Cheers, Noah
