Getting closer ... still missing something though ...

Have a getty on ttyd1, and a Login: prompt ... but I still can't seem to send a 
break ...

According to the VSP config guide, <ESC>Ctrl-B should do it ...

Do I have to setup the comconsole stuff in /etc/loader.conf as well, for the 
break to work?

Damn, now I screwed up the server ... no remcons, and nothing on the vsp ... 
all I have left is:

Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf

after adding:

hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole,vidconsole"

to /boot/loader.conf ...

So, that was the wrong move ... :(
