bin/58951: Some problems with 4.9-RELEASE installation using comconsole

This doesn't suprise me; may BIOSen will say a keyboard is there when it is not. Its possible this is the case for you, which is something that FreeBSD can't fix. You should use the -h option in this instance, which forces serial console regardless. 2. Sysinstall does not configure the system for serial console if it was installed from one. A reasonable feature request, but certainly not something that can be done quickly. You can do this manually by starting the Fixit shell and running echo "-h" > /dist/boot.config vi /dist/etc/ttys (enable ttyd0 console) (untested, but you get the idea hopefully) -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
