This rhymes with sio deciding that your TTY is something other than
ttyd0. We had this same problem on Rackable -- even though the proper
tty was setup 0x3f8 irq 4 it was being assigned to sio1. You can see
this by 'grep sio /var/log/messages'
The only fix for this is to edit /boot/device.hints and reassign the
flags to the sio1 interface, like so:
hint.sio.1.at="isa"
hint.sio.1.port="0x3F8"
hint.sio.1.flags="0x10"
hint.sio.1.irq="4"
hint.sio.0.at="isa"
hint.sio.0.port="0x2F8"
hint.sio.0.irq="3"

Unluckily my serial output stops right when a getty at ttyd0 should

Very unfortunate.
The boot menu, as the bootup itself is printed out on serial console
until:
da0: <COMPAQ RAID 0 VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-5 device
da0: 135.168MB/s transfers
da0: 139947MB (286611840 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 35124C)
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a
bce0: link state changed to DOWN
bce0: link state changed to UP
bce1: link state changed to UP
Which is, what I think, the point when init should take over and
spawn a
serial console on ttyd0, according to my /etc/ttys:
# grep ttyd0 /etc/ttys
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
# cat /boot/loader.conf
comconsole_speed="9600"
console="vidconsole,comconsole" # A comma separated list of
console(s)
boot_multicons="-D" # -D: Use multiple consoles
boot_serial="-h" # -h: Use serial console
# uname -a

The blade itself is a HP BL465c G5
Any ideas? I don't have this blade for a long time, so I'm a bit in a
hurry.
In fact, right now I'm testing this setup against a Debian 4.0 with
Linux
2.6.25.9 under MySQL load, and up until now the machine looks good.
If I wind up with a fully working, nearly as fast and stable as our
linux
boxes installation, I'd might be able to convince "the boys at work"
to
give FreeBSD a try.
And in a 600 server setup, I'd be thrilled to do so :-)
So lets get started with this serial console issue... which is
indeed a
pain :(
TIA,
Marian
