Just FYI, "hints" aren't. Er, acpi ignores them. We found that if
ACPI wants 2F8 on a given sio port, it was better ... er, only
worked ;-) if we configured device.hints to match what ACPI expected.
FYI, you might find "-dH" in /boot.config to be more useful that the
console setting in loader.conf. It sets console=comconsole by
default, but leaves you able to override it from the vid console if
you are at the keyboard when it boots. Very useful.

kernel is built so that it uses COM2 (0x2F8) as comconsole, and I

hint.sio.0.flags="0x30"
hint.sio.0.port="0x2F8"
hint.sio.0.irq="3"
console="comconsole vidconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"
boot_multicons="yes"
Now, I had missed a step from the handbook, and that was to
configure my boot
blocks for the change in com port ... or, rather, I added the
settings to
/etc/make.conf, 'cd /sys/boot; ...' and installed them, just forgot
to do the
bsdlabel ... type'd reboot, slap'd my forehead for not remembering,
but,
everything came up as expected ... so, does the hint.sio stuff
above override
the requirement to set things in /etc/make.conf and do bsdlabel?
The handbook
instructions seem to be from pre-6.x days as it is, as it still
talks about
configuring sio via the kernle config ...
So, I reboot, on my VSP, I get all of the normal device probe stuff
that one
would expect, and, thanks to my getty on port ttyd0,I get a login
prompt ...
all great.
Now, through telnet to ilo, I do:
^]send break
nadda, doesn't drop me to the debugger ... so, I suspect that ilo
is trapping
the break and not passing it to the backend / DDB?
Now, funny thing ... I did do a reset of iLO, which proceeded to
drop the
system into DDB ... so, somehow, I have to get iLO to send that
break ... ?
I'm double checking with ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER set, to see if I can
get *that*
to work ... but, if anyone has any thoughts on this, please, I'm
all ears ...
I'm sooooooo close ...
