IPMI SoL oddity on 9.0

I've managed to get SoL to work.

Turned out the IPMI is utilizing uart2 on my box so modified loader.conf so uart2 is configured to be the serial console port.

hint.uart.0.flags="0x0"
hint.uart.2.at="isa"
hint.uart.2.port="0x3E8"
hint.uart.2.irq="10"
hint.uart.2.flags="0x10"

The handbook does not seem to indicate this very clearly but well, now that it's working, I'm a happy man.
