Would it be possible to use serial terminal as a console in 386bsd.  I
don't want to have console window on my x-screen but I still want to
see console messages.  In order to see as much boot info as possible,
I'd like to configure my system to change console to /dev/com? as
early stage of the boot procedure as possible. 

Has anyone done anything like this, or do I have to kludge it myself?

Any help is welcome,
