I guess you use console to serial redirection (set in BIOS) and you are 
connecting to IPMI via ssh or other network way. This setup is always 
working bad. The proper way is to have console redirection off (there 
are usually several choices like "off after POST" or so) and point both 
bootloader and FreeBSD to serial port.
