console connectivity question.

[Brendan Kelliher]

Tim,
    I usually add "-h" to /boot.config and edit the "ttyd0" line in 
/etc/ttys to look something like:
    ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on secure

    Also see the FreeBSD handbook entry on this subject:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html
