If it's one of the "smaller" alphas that dual use the COM1 as an alternate
console, it's not FreeBSD, it's the hardware.

We have used there things with VMS for years and COM1 is always limited.
Seems all trafic goes via the SRM code as this "may" be used as a console.

Basically, don't use COM1 unless you have to.
