I would like to use sio3 as my serial console and automatically using the serial console. I changed BOOT_COMCONSOLE to the right value did a make clean, make, make install in /sys/boot/i386, reconfig'd and built the kernel, set /boot.config to contain -h. It mostly works. What happens is that after selecting the partition(slice), it prints the "-h" and opens sio0!, since I have a mouse on that port, the boot hangs. If I disconnect the mouse before booting, the boot succeeds. the system is 4.0 current from this week. any hints?
