Description Paul Macdonald 2012-07-24 19:20:10 UTC 
Serial loader seems broken under 9.0

Using FreeBSD-8,3-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
adding to boot/loader.conf

bootconsole="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="57600"

Sufficient for serial install to work fine

Under 9.0 (All install isos) 
stage 3 loader never appears

How-To-Repeat: serial install under 9.0 (any iso) 
with loader.conf of:

bootconsole="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="57600"

Paul
  Is this issue still happening ? Is this only an issue with 57.6Kbps .

Can you submit a follow up with the output from pciconf -lv ,  the contents
of /var/run/dmesg.boot
 and details about the make model and vendor of the system.

Unfortunately this PR was never addressed before these versions of FreeBSD went out of support.  Sorry.

If this is still a problem, please open a new PR.  Thanks.
