FYI, issue has been is solved.
Created a user with a blank password so I would directly start a shell.
This way I found out that there was a mismatch between
terminal-settings :-/

Greetings,
I do have an issue with FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE (i386) and a serial
console. I can see the boot messages, console messages and a login
prompt. I can type a username, after that it shows the password prompt
and at that point things stop working as expected.
After a while 'ps' shows that the login is the front-process (1059 in
the output below) for ttyd0 but it becomes idle regardless any console
input:
# ps -ef | grep login
483 v0 Is 0:00.02 login [pam] (login)
1059 d0 Is+ 0:00.01 login
When I kill the login process the 'getty process' is started as
front-process for ttyd0:
# ps -ef | grep ttyd0
1085 d0 Ss+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0
Again the login prompt appears in the terminal connected to the serial
console.
ps also shows that the login process raised CPU scheduling priority
(''). Tests show that this process does that when waiting for a
password in a VGA-console. So I guess the login process is waiting for
a password but somehow it does not receive anything from the serial
port. Hense it becomes idle.
However, console messages (like: login: Nov 29 21:37:46 cyclone
login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv1) are redirected fine to the serial
console.
Does anyone have an idea what might go wrong here?
Thanks in advance, Arien
