As far as I can tell, the code in FreeBSD-CURRENT
does not yet support the video out.  So you need
a serial console cable to interact with it.

You might be able to interact via SSH but
that requires a little bit more setup (a root
password needs to be set and you need to
edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow root logins).

If someone knows how to get the video out
to work, I'm very interested!
