zfsloader: messy output on Dell iDrac serial console

running on *some* Dell servers the serial console looks messed up at 
the time of the FreeBSD menu.
it looks like it's dropping (or adding? but that's less likely) 
characters.

IS there an RTS/CTS input we should be attending to?

I will add that some of the other modules (e.g. the mfi raid setup 
section) also get affected,
so it's not just a bug in our code.
