>Description:
I am having problem with AMD64  Freebsd release and getting consoles to  work properly. Console works fine during the initial boot process but when it comes to the login prompt I am unable to to enter text or get any response back to the console. When i install the i386 version on these systems, the console works with no problems at all with the same configuration.

Configuration:

cat /boot/loader.conf 
console="comconsole"
accf_http_load="YES"

cat /etc/ttys | grep vt100
ttyd0	"/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"	vt100	on secure
