You have to tell the kernel to use the serial port as console. You can do=20 so by adding the line "console=3Dcomconsole" to /boot/loader.conf or=20 instruct the first stage loader to use serail console with the command=20 'echo -h > /boot.config' =46or serial port configuration you may also want to have a look at the=20 sysctl machdep.conspeed and to the /etc/make.conf option=20 BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT and BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED, both compile time=20 variables. If you want to have a login on the serial line you also have to enable a=20 getty in /etc/ttys.
