I've managed to get SoL to work.

Turned out the IPMI is utilizing uart2 on my box so modified loader.conf =
so uart2 is configured to be the serial console port.

hint.uart.0.flags=3D"0x0"
hint.uart.2.at=3D"isa"
hint.uart.2.port=3D"0x3E8"
hint.uart.2.irq=3D"10"
hint.uart.2.flags=3D"0x10"

The handbook does not seem to indicate this very clearly but well, now =
that it's working, I'm a happy man.
