Serial console aside, can you PLEASE verify that you can get
getty(8) working on the first serial port if it is NOT set up as
a serial console?  That is, with an empty /boot.config and
default syscons console, can you get a login: prompt on a
serial port?  I cannot, on neither of my -current machines,
nor i386 nor amd64.  People I asked around report the same.
