PCengines ALIX boot0sio serial input failes

hi,
	FreeBSD-8 works great on these boards, but there are some
gotchas, the boot and the serial: output works fine, but input
is 'problematic'. the pxeboot serial handling is ok, the boot menu
is ok, but booting off the CF (using boot0sio), the input 'screwy'
at the selection of partition it is ignored, at the OK: prompt
from the boot (i had no kernel in the slice), the input is usually
doubled:
	sshooww instead of show
which is probably similar to what is happening with boot0sio but it
only echoes # (the current bell).

Once the kernel is up, the serial works fine.

any ideas?

thanks,
	danny
