Yep. Done all that.

Read a lot of manpages also.

As I said before, I can't seem to get boot.conf to have an effect.
AFAICS, boot.conf is used to tell the kernel to communicate via the serial interface, as in this example from boot (8):
# echo "set tty com0" > /etc/boot.conf
I think I am GTG except that when bsd.rd starts up my tty session ends.
I suspect that the kernels don't automatically communicate via the serial console.

Best wishes.
