Since this is my desktop I had to give up at that > point. It will probably be Monday before I can hook up a laptop to the serial port to try to collect data, but it's not hard. I put the line: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader -D -S38400 into /boot.config and console="comconsole" comconsole_speed=38400 into /boot/loader.conf. You probably have /boot/loader.conf, but /boot.config will probably need to be added. If you want to be able to log in to the console port, you also need to enable it in /etc/ttys. (usually ttyd0).
