serial console puzzle

[Patrick Welche <prlw1%cam.ac.uk@localhost>]

In /boot.cfg:

menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;consdev com0,57600;boot

# installboot -ve /dev/rsd0a
File system:         /dev/rsd0a
Boot options:        timeout 5, flags 0, speed 57600, ioaddr 0, console com0

Yet in dmesg:

com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4: ns16550a, 1-byte FIFO
com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3: ns16550a, 1-byte FIFO
com1: console

(so I don't actually see anything)

(Wednesday's -current/amd64)


Thoughts?

Cheers,

Patrick
