Hi Paul--

I recently ran into this as well.  I didn't do any setting of the
console bitrate, just "-Dh" in /boot.config, and it caused a server I
was upgrading to lock up just as you described.  I had to learn about
mounting ZFS filesystems from the Fixit environment in a hurry.  My
workaround was to get rid of /boot.config, which obviously doesn't
restore the original functionality.

The system in question was (is) running 8.3-RELEASE.

Bruce.
