I'll test this out on our RELENG_8

I seem to remember some of the drivers

Thank you! I w
Just replying to a random message in this thread.
Maybe we should just implement /dev/console in such a way that it can
never get stuck on dcd. I've seen this break too many times.
Below is an untested patch. Anyone willing to test it for me?
As Jeremy did point out, FreeBSD's TTY/serial/etc cod

OTOH, I have real hardware where things are working just fine:
$ grep uart /var/run/dmesg.boot
uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
uart0: [FILTER]

I can confirm there is much weirdness with the uart on 8-STABLE.
I'm using FBSD in several virtual machines on Parallels Desktop.
It is possible to set the serial port on the VM to output to a file on the host
OS
I try something like 'cat file > /dev/cuad0 on FBSD 7 and 8. This works

Does the KVM switch provide power to a PS/2

Kind of. It's connected to a local KVM switch.

If -P is not supposed to activate the serial console

Hi,
On Friday I have updated a machine from 7.1 to stable/8.
It is connected to a serial console. With 7.1 everything
worked fine, but with stable/8 things seem to break.
When the machine boots, everything appears normal, i.e.
I get all of the boot output, but then the console freezes.
