This, in general?: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ia64/2005-February/000823.html Mind you, you are not supposed to get anything on the video console past boot loader: boot dmesg (and others) only appears on the serial console, even after the install. My understanding is that you are supposed to use it via network at the moment. Also this thread might (or might not) be useful for configureing 'the other side': http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=32061+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/freebsd-hardware/20040815.freebsd-hardware
