finally i got it working. thanks to all who replied and helped me with the 
setup, i appreciated it very much.

i just have few more questions:

1) when i'm on commandline on my computer that has the serial console connected, 
i can switch vitrual consoles, but both ctrl-alt-f1 and ctrl-alt-f2 are 
/dev/ttyE1. there are also /dev/ttyE2 and /dev/ttyE3. that's ok, i've ttyE0 
turned off in /etc/ttys as console is normally running there (what happens if i 
enable ttyE0 and boot with consdev pc? will system panic? will i have 
problems?). but the main point is different. why i'm not able to switch to 
virtual consoles from X? i'm sure it was possible before i started the system 
with serial console...

2) break sequence is set to ~# (\x27\x01) in tip. is it possible to find these 
escape codes documented somewhere? i was searching the netbsd site, but i didn't 
find anything useful.

regards,
