Check your boot sectors. boot0 is shared between the slices, so that=E2=80=99s less of a concern, but boot2 is specific to each slice. You can force a serial console by writing =E2=80=9C-P=E2=80=9C to = /boot.config (if not already done). It helps if you tell the kernel specifically to use a serial console (as well): boot_serial=3Dyes hw.uart.console=3D=E2=80=9Cio:0x3f8=E2=80=9D boot_multicons=3Dyes I have found that with vt(4) it=E2=80=99s pretty much impossible to not have it claim the console.
