Hi folks -

I managed to get boot messages displayed to the serial console, but
then the login prompt goes to the internal console.  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.

Thank you -d
