I'll bet you that sio is deciding that com1 or not, it's sio1 (not
sio0) which can be fixed with the changes I mention below.

I take that back, on blades the virtual serial is on COM1.

Also remember that the blades have 2 serial ports, one can be
accessed via
a dongle in the front of the blade and I believe that is what usual
would be
called COM1 by default. The virtual serial via ilo takes up the
COM2 by
default. This is at least the default on DL series servers and I
haven't
checked into using the virtual serial on the Blades we have.

This rhymes with sio deciding that your TTY is something other than
ttyd0. We had this same problem on Rackable -- even though the
proper
tty was setup 0x3f8 irq 4 it was being assigned to sio1. You can
see
this by 'grep sio /var/log/messages'
The only fix for this is to edit /boot/device.hints and reassign the
flags to the sio1 interface, like so:
hint.sio.1.at="isa"
hint.sio.1.port="0x3F8"
hint.sio.1.flags="0x10"
hint.sio.1.irq="4"
hint.sio.0.at="isa"
hint.sio.0.port="0x2F8"
hint.sio.0.irq="3"

I installed a recent (as of today) RELENG_7 on one of our HP
Blades.
Unluckily my serial output stops right when a getty at ttyd0 should
kick
in. So I'm blind for the rest of the startup.
Very unfortunate.
The boot menu, as the bootup itself is printed out on serial
console
until:
da0: <COMPAQ RAID 0 VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-5 device
da0: 135.168MB/s transfers
da0: 139947MB (286611840 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 35124C)
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a
bce0: link state changed to DOWN
bce0: link state changed to UP
bce1: link state changed to UP
Which is, what I think, the point when init should take over and
spawn a
serial console on ttyd0, according to my /etc/ttys:
# grep ttyd0 /etc/ttys
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
# cat /boot/loader.conf
comconsole_speed="9600"
console="vidconsole,comconsole" # A comma separated list of
console(s)
boot_multicons="-D" # -D: Use multiple consoles
boot_serial="-h" # -h: Use serial console
# uname -a

The blade itself is a HP BL465c G5
Any ideas? I don't have this blade for a long time, so I'm a bit
in a
hurry.
In fact, right now I'm testing this setup against a Debian 4.0 with
Linux
2.6.25.9 under MySQL load, and up until now the machine looks good.
If I wind up with a fully working, nearly as fast and stable as our
linux
boxes installation, I'd might be able to convince "the boys at
work"
to
give FreeBSD a try.
And in a 600 server setup, I'd be thrilled to do so :-)
So lets get started with this serial console issue... which is
indeed a
pain :(
TIA,
Marian
