The OS probably didnt hang, you told it to send all its output to comconsole (ie serial port) and not display anything. This might look as though it has hung. Try (in /boot/loader.conf): boot_multicons="YES" console="vidconsole,comconsole" to output to both of them. Also, set the correct tty on your serial console with something like (in /etc/ttys): ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 off secure There will be a ttyd0 line already. All of this is in the various handbooks. Cheers Tom
