Is there a PS/2 keyboard hooked up to this machine when you're attempting to get serial console output? If so, I'm not too surprised it doesn't work (re: -P flag). Can you try the following? 1) Removing kernel_options and console from loader.conf 2) Place "-P" in /boot.config instead If this doesn't change the behaviour, please replace -P and with -D -h and see if there's any improvement. -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
