If it works on -current, is by some magic trick. :-) I just checked
the source, for the sake of it...

Options (as far as loader goes):
load kernel -h
or
set console=comconsole
Both will set up boot through the serial console, without
interfering with normal working of autoboot. A -P in /boot.config is
prefered, though, for the reasons Nordier gave.

Patches to the man pages would be welcomed.
