why?

to add some more 'issues', setting 
	hint.sio.1.flags="0x10"
does the redirection correctly but does not fix the speed to CONSPEED, and
stays at 9600. (BTW, this used to work).

is this by design too? :-)

I am NOT trying to start any flame here, just that setting the serial console
correctly is getting more difficult with each upgrade.

setting the serial speed means,
	compiling correctly btx, pxeboot, kernel, ilo.
now it seems that any info in /boot.config or /boot/loader.conf is also
ignored.
