Verify that the /etc/ttys change is made. Try "console=com1,vga" and "com1=115200,8n1,pci" in the Xen string in loader.conf Using an ExpressCard serial interface, I had to set the setting manually: set comconsole_pcidev=5:0:0 set comconsole_port=0x4000 set comconsole_speed=115200 That's all I have figured out so far. Do share if you get it working. Michael Dexter
