given most of the above is fixed by turning off bios redirection after
boot, a potentially better question is why do i not get a login prompt
after boot?
neither:
ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt100 onifconsole secure
ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt100 on secure
give a login prompt.
getty on ttyu0 is running
root 766 0.0 0.0 14488 2120 - I 10:31PM 0:00.00
/usr/libexec/getty std.57600 ttyu0
root 758 0.0 0.0 14488 1984 v0 Is+ 10:31PM 0:00.00
/usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv0
