  I think I saw this but it eventually popped up a login prompt. 
Guessing it was attempting to detect if a modem was present.

  OpenBSD 5.4 doesn't have the change to use MSI interrupts for virtio 
devices 
(http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/virtio_pci.c 1.7)

  I built a 5.4/amd64 flashrd image with this change at
    http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/flashimg.amd64-20131014.bz2

  5.5 isn't displaying serial console output - I've yet to debug this; 
probably an issue with grub-bhyve.

later,

Peter.
