Don't know if you figured this out yet or not, but if you're using
a serial console, you need to edit /etc/ttys to comment out the ttyE0 line
and uncomment the 'console' line above it. It would be nice if there was a
way to switch between the two if you do any kind of swapping between
serial console and physical console.

	Hope this helps,
