I got a serial console working on COM2, to which I have connected another FreeBSD box. I connect with 'cu' fine, but I'm running into a couple of problems which I haven't been able to find and answer for.
o When I connect, when the machine is first turned on, I get disconnected twice during the boot up sequence (cu reports Got hangup signal) -- looks like when the sio1 device is probed, and also when getty runs. o 9600 was rather slow, so I changed it to 115200, which worked, however I had a few problems with terminal display -- any output that scrolls down past the bottom of the screen gets 'garbled'. (IE, I run clear; ls -l / -- the first 23 lines look ok then it gets messed up). Same results from console mode of my client machine and from an xterm. I thought that 115200 might be too fast, so I slowed it down to 38400, but same trouble. I'm not sure if this occured at 9600. Any thoughts / ideas / suggestions would be appreciated.
