Are you sure the baud rate is set appropriately (default on FreeBSD was 9600 bps and some systems default to 115200 IIRC)? You can set the baud rate like so: ipmitool -U $username -P $password -H $ip sol set non-volatile-bit-rate 9.6 ipmitool -U $username -P $password -H $ip sol set volatile-bit-rate 9.6 You have to do this off the box (which I find incredibly annoying, but oi vey...).
