sysinstall and serial console

[Yuri Pankov]

Hi,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD-7.0-RC2/amd64 on HP ProLiant DL320 G4
using serial console.

So far I've tried the following using `boot -h' (or `boot -D') from
loader prompt:
- embedded serial port mapped to com1
  (SET CONFIG EMBEDDED SERIAL PORT 1)
- virtual serial port mapped to com1 (both via iLO ssh interface and
  `Remote Serial Console' java applet)
  (SET CONFIG VIRTUAL SERIAL PORT 1)

In all cases sysinstall doesn't show up at all, though I'm getting all
kernel messages on serial console. What am I missing here and is such
installation scheme supported at all?

I've posted dmesg from last boot at http://darklight.org.ru/tmp/dl320.dmesg


TIA,
Yuri
