Garbage in serial console with kernel from today

[Herbert J. Skuhra]

Hei!

When I unplug the keyboard on my pc and run cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 9600 on
my notebook the boot messages are displayed on the serial console of my
notebook. This works fine with a kernel from 04.03.2002:

Console: serial port
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS 639kB/523264kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8

But with a kernel from yesterday and today I get only garbage:

Is it me doing something wrong? Or is this a send-pr?
