And ttyd0 was enabled too. Using a PC, FreeBSD 4.4 boot messages after the one I got are: "sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x100> sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A, console sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 ppc0: parallel port not found. ad0: 28615MB <VBOX HARDDISK> [58140/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: DVD-ROM <VBOX CD-ROM> at ata0-slave using PIO4 acd1: DVD-ROM <VBOX CD-ROM> at ata1-master using PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a swapon: adding /dev/ad0s1b as swap device Automatic boot in progress..." Maybe it stuck trying to create virtual consoles on serial interface? I really don't know. As in Phill's idea, would be great if I had a spare M7i. Or even a spare RE. Not my case here, unfortunately. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/console-server/freebsd.html > > Anyway, will take a real read on those documents.
